Story Beat: the darkest before the dawn, return to the familiar, a hope spot

Everything is lost. There is no possible route to victory here: our protagonist has lost everything. Anybody would wallow in misery in this situation.

At its very lowest, at the point where the low could not get any lower, often our protagonist has a brush with death itself: they die, or someone around them dies. Sometimes it's even permanent.

But something - something small - gives our protagonist the tiniest shred of hope. They can go on! Maybe it's a clever idea or plan, or the solution to the mystery they've been trying to solve all along.

Characterization - Cynical Survivor

I couldn't have stopped you from going on this ridiculous mission, so I'm here to try to keep you alive for as long as is reasonably possible, which won't be long.

Blit is a black hole of cynicism.

There is no plan they can't poke a hole in, no parade that they can't rain on.

That cynicism is an armor: deep inside, Blit is creative, expressive, emotional, a side of them that must be kept on tight lock to protect it. Blit is resilient and clear-eyed.

They've been through hell and what's come out the other side is someone who can weather any storm.

Blit's cynicism also calls for a kind of true courage. They can look danger in the eye, understand the full gravity of the situation, know that things are likely to go very badly, and then, face it anyways.
