Key Notes
A student argues that Lucifer's tears imply at least some level of comprehension, not pure dead matter.

Jiang invokes a Kantian limit on ordinary perception: people see through time and space, while some important realities are felt rather than seen.
The group nevertheless treats the translation problem as a useful exercise by trying to break empathy into semantic components like feeling and 'into.'
