Hal's grief for JOI: Tosca, crying, and his "anti-death" theology

timeline_event

texture · post-YTSDB grief; the exchange YDAU

When: the grieving itself follows JOI's death (YTSDB era); the dark-room exchange documenting it is YDAU (2009), a bedtime after a match — ordered here by content
What: In a dark-room bedtime exchange with Mario, it emerges that after Himself's death Hal "listened to Tosca over and over and cried and said you were sad." Pressed on belief, Hal frames himself as "pretty much anti-death" against a "pro-death" God. Documents how Hal grieved JOI (unlike the tearless Avril) and his guarded inner theology.
