The Study is a set of private worlds that Arrell has been putting people into; both as a means of prolonging their lives and giving them additional time to think of a solution to the Heat and the Dark and as a way of getting rid of people who he feels are endangering the world or hindering his goals.
Structure[edit | edit source]
Described alternatively as a "solipsist heaven" or an "eternity prison", a person who is in the Study is in an alternate version of the world as created by themselves; whether identical to the world which they have left, or one which they can remake based upon their own desires.
