One of my friends, who recently watched my Memorial Box set en route back to me after James’ translation effort, came up with an interesting thought. The world “outside” the game in sepia starts to show anomalies after the ‘reset’ – the dog disappearing, the sound of combat aircraft above her apartment… Perhaps a reset does not represent a return from the game to the same level of reality that it was entered from. Developed further, this idea adds further nuances to the theories already set out earlier in this page. I need to think about this some more, and watch the film again with this mindset, but it’s definitely worth thinking through…
