You should mark this with spoilers.

As for the death, A LOT of children's books, especially those written more than a few decades ago, have characters dying:

>!Charlotte’s Web, Bambi, a Life in the Woods, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson series, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Giving Tree, Old Yeller, Bridge to Terabithia, Little Women, Esperanza Rising,...!<

And yeah, I bawled at some of them. Still remember.

Please use spoiler tags. Spoiler tags in markdown are done as follows:

>!Spoiler content here!<.

Or apply the built-in spoiler tags when using the redesign.
