I didn't get it O_o

What didn't you get?

Oh, Sunset was involved in an accident and got in a coma and her walking along the road and seeing the Dazzlings was purgatory, you know, before death.

Interesting. Leaves one to think a little.

This was… amazing!

I don't think I've read anything like it.

I got that, I just didn't get what this story is supposed to mean. I'm really bad at phylosophy.

6477318
Mean? Well...I don't know how to answer that.

so what, were they reborn afterward?

Wait, so...

The Dazzlings killed themselves to keep Sunset alive. Sunset helped each pass on, but if she died before Adagio let go, then Adagio would stay a trapped ghost-thing forever. So... because she couldn't live with them committing suicide for her sake, she went ahead and let herself die (which, fortunately, set Adagio free), thereby negating their sacrifice entirely?

6477656
This is exactly what I don't get. Why Dazzlings did that?

This was an interesting idea, and gotta give a thumbs up for experimenting an unconventional approach to the storytelling. When I got to about the halfway point though, starting with the last few sentences of Sunset on(?) the roof with Adagio, it just sort of lost me. I found myself skimming ahead instead of fully reading, trying to figure out what the heck was going on. :)

I guess what that leads me to think is that the premise is intriguing. But the presentation could benefit from quite bit more detail in the individual scenes to really draw the reader into what you're wanting to show going on. But at the end, I still didn't quite understand what had happened. A lot of metaphysical stuff, it seemed like, but (maybe it's just me) it didn't tie together in my head.

6478010 Depending on when this is, they could have become friends... but in that case, we still have Sunset, for whatever reason, deciding "ok, I'll just go die now" and invalidating the whole sacrifice.

I'm seriously confused.

Ugh.
The whole reason the Dazzlings did that was not to help Sunset live, or die. It was to help her realize she was actually dead in the first place. In the story explanation, we have written that Sunset is immortal and it's been 100 years since her old life. But that's just what Sunset thinks, and so the Dazzlings to help her realize it's not true. If the Dazzlings hadn't died, Sunset Shimmer would've been walking down that dirt road forever.

This is confusing, are they really dead?

6480522
Yes, Sonata, Aria, Adagio and Sunset died but they reincarnated in the end

6478832 Ah. Got it.
I'm not too good with this type of thing.

You should make a sequel where these reincarnations meet the humane six due to time travel shenanigans.
