How remembering such a thing would be super weird, but you&#8217;d be a spectator to it, where your feelings would be the exact same as you felt before.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>That sort of thinking allowed us to go into writing the video in a kind of chaotic and surreal way, where trying to remember the way you died would cause all kinds of malfunctions in your brain &#8211; like the random placements of Sam in different places, such as the outline of the body on the van, when it should have been on the ground. The arrival of the nurse who should be in a hospital, not at the scene instead of an ambulance.
