At the same time, what was becoming clear to me was the extent to which humans, in their wish to escape loneliness, made maneuvers that were very complex and hard to fathom, and I saw it was possible that the consequences of Morganâs Falls had at no stage been within my control.
âheadfakesâ on the main themes:

- grief, pregried, how messed does one have to be to start cloning their dying loved one
Klara is a creature born science, but she is the only one who seems to think in religious terms. The other characters conspicuously avoid the word âsoulâ when asking if there is a special something in people. Klara is the only one seemingly free of sin.

main theme, split parent view: klara (sincere, unconditional), real parents (messy, emotionally selfish in parts, etc)
klara as the parental view:
- fighting with seemingly ânonsensicalâ things as a way to make children happy (pollution machine)
- living in our own bubbles (naivete and superstitions etc)
- done everything, satisfied just collecting thoughts and thinking back if no regrets (grandparent tao state)
- memories fading together, setting memories in order
- fine in The Yard, since she has done everything she could to help Josie: a parent can be content in their equivalent of the Yard, reviewing their memories and waiting for their end, if they know they did everything they could for their child and they feel they successfully completed their task of raising their child to become a successful adult.
