Descent: We begin our final descent into hell, tumbling down its ledges like the trash thrown from Akio Suzuki’s garbage can in Kaidan ni Mono wo Nageru. We are pulled by gravity. (link for Suzuki: https://issueprojectroom.org/news/akio-suzuki-aki-onda)
Frozen core: We find ourselves in the frozen wasteland gazing out toward Lucifer, locked in the ice, at the center of the universe. As the frozen path begins to fracture beneath us, we run, and leap onto his hairy haunches to climb our way out of hell.
When we had reached the point at which the thigh revolves, just at the swelling of the hip, my guide, with heavy strain and rugged work, reversed his head to where his legs had been and grappled on the hair, as one who climbs — I thought that we were going back to Hell.
Great inversion: As we climb, it seems that gravity and our compass fall apart. Are we climbing up? Down?
Where is the ice? And how is he so placed head downward
