Added DiffLines:
* UncertainDoom: Non-fatal example. The audience is told that Roy's friend, who was believed dead and from which Roy stole a manuscript from after his assumed death, is actually alive and recovering, but the audience isn't shown the fallout from this, albeit it can be summarized that it can't be pretty. The fact that the friend is described as being in a coma makes it more ambigious.
