Line 3:
* '''Straight''':
** Bob discovers that Alice has been killed by Lord Bloodstone and is absolutely shocked to his core.
** Alternatively, it's ''Bob'' who [[My God, What Have I Done?|(inadvertently) killed Alice]] while they fight Lord Bloodstone.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Bob discovers that Alice has been killed by Lord Bloodstone. He stands stock still in the middle of the room, mouth open.
Line 26:
* '''Invoked''': Lord Bloodstone's plans involved killed Alice, knowing this would mentally and emotionally cripple Bob and leave him vulnerable.
* '''Defied''':
** Bob's BSOD moment is brief, as Alice faked her death and comes back in time to tell Bob to [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|get a hold of himself]], bringing Bob back to reality.
** Conversely, the BSOD moment triggers a [[Battle in The Center of The Mind]] as Bob wrestles with his feelings of worthlessness. Bob comes out of it a changed man and is ready to restart the battle with renewed vigor.
* '''Discussed''': "Oh, no...they killed the girlfriend. He's gonna lose it for sure."
