    It isn't exactly as it was. They kept the normal sky. When it was turned off, it could be seen as a reflection of how the Alexandrians completely forgot those they lost. It's back on now but much more muted, and could be seen to reflect how the Alexandrians have embraced remembering those they lost. Thinking about someone you've lost isn't always a sad thing. There are happy memories, too. And now the zone has become a true Living Memory.

    I didn't say it's back to how it exactly was before, I said it's back to being a theme park. Scratch the surface. The pleasantly colourful courtyards are a facade, a light illusion projected to give the impression of nostalgia, a facsimile of a facsimile. To say that this zone now represents the comfort one feels through acceptance of the grieving process, is to also say this comfort is also a lie. I doubt the story wants to communicate that meaning.
