one of the really cool things re: ghost trick's writing is all the parallels you can draw between characters. for example: in the first chapter with missile, there’s the repeated joke that missile will take the blame for the stuff "kamila" (really sissel) broke. and sissel explicitly says that it’s "honorable" of him.
and like, haha funny. until. you learn about jowd. and how he took the fall for something "kamila" (really yomiel) did.
and then, later on, missiles chooses death (to stay dead) because he can better protect kamila that way.
the same choice jowd made.
the thing is, though, those parallels don't just exist; they exist in contrast. because in jowd’s case, him turning himself in and asking to be executed is shown over the course of the game to have been, though arguably well-intentioned, ultimately cowardly and not a proper solution. on the other hand, missile staying dead is, though sad, portrayed as truly noble, even admirable.
and there's a couple different meanings you can take from that. maybe it’s a difference between jowd resigning himself to his "fate" versus missile putting himself in a position where he can change fate? or maybe it's that jowd was arguably doing it more for himself — for the sake of assuaging and no longer having to live with his own guilt — than kamila, whereas missile's intentions are pure.
either way. i've seen posts about the missile–cabanela parallels before, but, jowd–missile parallels are there too. and they're equally painful :)
