The haze he is living in forces him to morph into the other Asle, who functions as the flip of the current Asle, one whose life reflects the thin line between “me” and “what I could have been.”

The narration is very interesting. The use of repetition and the retelling of the same events creates an almost breathing rhythm. Asle’s storytelling is fragmented and loosely strung together by a series of “I think”s. His faith, memory, and identity are uncertain, and his mind is constantly trying to stay present, to keep himself grounded in reality.
