BEHIND THIS SCENE

What is history and what is fiction?

Open reconstructionThe chapter is literary theology rather than recoverable event history.

Historical anchor

Zoroastrian ethical language and reverence for Ahura Mazda inspire the scene; “children of the Light” is deliberate literary foreshadowing rather than an Avestan quotation.

Fiction boundary

The postwar village and dialogue are invented.
