    I´ve seen this post before, around a year ago, so… Is this the same Lila from before? or a new Lila? If she’s the same, does she remember that she ceased to exist? or it is as it never happened?

    This is kind of what the game she’s from is about. Except in a more collective consciousness perspective than individualkstic. As long as one person remembers Lila, she is eternal.

    Are you kidding? I’m going to be thinking about her all weekend knowing she’s scared. Isn’t someone going to help her?

    “Lila” is a name applied to a picture with text written by the author attempting to emotionally manipulate the reader into forming some sort of attachment to the image.

    Maybe I’m too cynical, but the internet has soured me to these stories. Like the “trolley test” trying to force the viewer to choose between who dies, I see the man behind the curtain making the reader responsible for the results, and they can get fucked.

    If you manage to beat the game without dying, the Windfish will give her wings and let her leave your imagination.

    Reminds me of an old joke…

    Descartes goes down to a hot dog vendor.

    “Gimme a hotdog.”

    The hotdog vendor asks “you want mustard on that?”

    “I think not,” says Descartes, vanishing instantly.

    I thought of the eponymous nouvel by Robert Pirsig, the spiritual successor to ‘Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance’.

    A good read it you’re interested in philosophy.

    Thanks for entertaining my tangent.
