I think, framing the return of Death's Agent around this situation where the Latchkeys are fighting for their life, maybe the most dangerous thing they will face in Deep Lake...yeah, it has a sort of "Fast and the Furious" moment, but to me, it's One More Day with someone the Latchkeys cared about.

There is something wide-eyed and earnest in the thought that we can beat Death. There is no actually beating it, in the long run. Everyone dies, so how does anyone "beat" Death? And what does it even mean? I think Death isn't always an adversary, and dying isn't always Death "winning". Explore that.
