Enoch and non-permanent death...

Well... death is kind of already impermanent for him in canon, though actual resurrection is a pain in the ass that gives him temporary memory gaps so it's usually just rescue from the brink of death instead

The impermanence does not bother him, so much as the effects it has and how it separates him from any traveling companions

But yeah that's why I haven't done memloss for any of his death prices

For himself, it doesn't matter so much aside from the separation or a particularly annoying loss

Other people though

There's a reason he stopped looking at the obits

Anyway now that I'm home and can talk almost uninterrupted, fun fact: the value Enoch places on his own life is directly tied to the presence of his Important People.

see: instantly wanting to see what happens when the school can't drive him out, but then meeting Clayton and going "...no I can't do that to him"

also see: Beckett dying while he was trying to protect him and him immediately launching into a potentially dangerous morgue experiment.

the uncertainty (and the fact that dropped characters are definitely dead) sets this apart from the other games he's been in, where it was ICly confirmed that dropped characters returned to their own world.

...granted, in the previous game that was a desolate wasteland of a homeworld that you never wanted anyone to go back to ever but it was still not the same as dying

dying, with a few circumstantial exceptions, always resulted in revival, which...of course, led to people testing its limits much more freely than in Snowblind

Wonder if SB's version is like their response to that because it was also a Mel and Cee game
