In Love with the Mark: Difference between revisions

Another [[Moral Dilemma]] facing the [[Hitman with a Heart]] is just what exactly to do vis-a-vis his [[What Measure Is a Mook?|former colleagues]] and innocents. Now that he's essentially done a [[Gender Flip|Gender Flipped]]ped [[High Heel Face Turn]] into at least being an [[Anti-Hero]], he can't just kill anyone he pleases. The [[Love Interest]] usually insists on [[Morality Chain|holding him to a more moral standard]], and only killing those who attack them or betrayed them.

** And from Blazing Sword (7), we've got Jaffar and Nino. A catch here is that they're both assassins in the organization now run by the [[Big Bad]]-- and—and are sent to assassinate the Prince of Bern, Zephiel (a hit put out by the Prince's [[Kick the Dog|Fox-kicking]] Bastard of a Father). However, the organization can't exactly get away with killing someone that important... so [[Evil Matriarch|So]][[Complete Monster|nia]] order [[Defrosting Ice Queen|the up-to-that-point completely heartless]] [[Tyke Bomb|Jaffar]] to kill ''her own daughter'' [[Token Mini-Moe|Nino]] as a second target, apparently unaware that [[Florence Nightingale Effect|Nino had actually saved Jaffar's life in the recent past]]. Needless to say, that didn't go over well in more ways than 1. Ultimately, this leads to a double [[Heel Face Turn]] and if they get an A-Support, they'll end up married (Although, [[Doomed by Canon|neither lives much longer after the game, sadly]].)
