Think Easter and Christ. Biblical.
Jesus dies on the cross and rises 3 days later.
Jesus (son/sun) dies. Darkness.
3 days later he rises. SunLight returns.
Pretty sure that would freak people out.
Philosophical question…
You have to live so many lives to say graduate. Some lives will be dark and difficult, others easier and more pleasant.
You get to pick the order.
Do you go with the hardest, worst lives first or do them last? Or maybe go for random?
Personally, I know I would have chosen to do the worst ones first so that each succeeding life would be better. Get the worst over with.
