Subplot Point 1 #4 (Kōtiro is Touched)
Scene Purpose:
Partner character goes out on a limb for Main Character, bringing them closer together and changing their relationship.
The scene with Ingo segues by zooming out a little and showing the frame of the “magic mirror” being watched by Ko and company.
Kō: He is a stupid boy. A stupid, brave boy…
Ingo has only appeared to die. He can show up later, in the nick of time, and it will be revealed that he survived his ordeal.
That way Kō can feel like a wash of gratitude and regret, and a renewed sense of vigor in her quest.
