in the alternate universe where the silt verses is a tv show i would have there be a scene where we catch a glimpse of shrue's family, perhaps saying goodbye to each other before they go their separate ways when shrue attends that fateful meeting at the moridame, and have shrue's partner be played by the same actor who plays VAL. just to enhance the uncertainty and psychosexual tension a little bit.

One thing that comes up over and over again in Our Republic of Suffering, a history of how the Civil War influenced American ideas about death, and that has now become a noticeable anachronism in so many fantasy or historical novels, is that people in the 19th century did not find the idea of a "quick death" in any way comforting, and found it uniquely upsetting. It was really important that someone live long enough to make some kind of religious assertion that could assure their family that they were in heaven, to the point where it became somewhat common for people to tell a dead soldier's family that he had had some kind of prophetic dream or sense of forboding that inspired him to say something like "if I don't make it tomorrow, tell my mother that I have accepted Jesus as my savior." shortly before being blown to bits. People were less afraid of pain than they were of the more unfamiliar horror of dying without any chance to say goodbye.

Anyway, now that I'm aware of it, it's amazing how often a fantasy novel or a straight up 19th century novel will have a character thinking, "at least it was quick" about someone who died in an explosion or shipwreck or whatever...and they would not think that!
