She must have really hated her human life for some reason.

:trollestia: Perhaps she loved it too much to want to leave it, even though she did.

I like this. Neat use of tense and to the point.

I was trying to go for a “loved it too much to let it go” vibe, with a side of fixation on base reality.

Interesting. Really leaves you to wonder if Celestia is telling the truth about her past or not. Personally I think that since the ponies she creates have so far been shown to know they are created or at the very least have always been ponies, then Celestia just said exactly what she knew would manipulate the uploaded human into letting go of the past so they could have a satisfied future.

:trollestia:

it’s a pomegranate

It's a trap.

So glad someone spotted that, I wasn't sure if I was being too subtle!

Rang like a bell to me. It's not only a pomegranate, you even specifically name-drop the seeds, you mention the afterlife in the story description, and at one point you have her repeat to herself three times that she's dead. There was no way it was a coincidence.

It also strongly implies a very definite answer to the "what's really going on here" question.

CelestAI is lying.

Good story, short but it has depth with the little details.

It's a real good reference, especially since Celestia promises the Lethe.

Not just lying, but contradicting herself. If there was never any outside world, how does this girl know about AIs with imperatives rather than alicorn princesses?
