who eats the new light?

There is some kind of examination I have to pass in hell. I hadn’t known about this beforehand. Now, I’m brought before four or five people who sit in chairs arranged in a semicircle out on the open, grassy field of hell. I’ve already had to come some ways to get here – across channels of water, over the low inclines suggesting hills in the distance. A voice asks if I am ready, and though this is the first I’ve heard of any examination, I say that I am. This is a public episode.
