A character is in despair and contemplating death, and a second character desperately tries to convince them that they want to live, revealing the first character's extensive, multi-life existence. This leads to a flashback or reveal of a third character who has killed to protect the character contemplating death, claiming the previous version of that person was an 'empty shell' and they are now showing their true self. This also seems to show a shift in the dynamic between the first and third character, with the third declaring their intention to protect the first at any cost.
