Here's an episode idea: Ruby kills another person.

This could happen any number of ways including, but not limited to self-defence, losing her head, making a tough decision, or an accident; but what I'm interested in is how she reacts in the following episode/s. Killing an animal is one thing, but killing another sentient being is another.

Nobody really forgets the person they kill. The facial expressions, the life draining from their eyes, and all that death entails.

The episode could be quite interesting detailing that there is no right way to kill another. That the "Warrior's code", and every other similar idea such as honor, codes, and rules are simply anesthetic for people to hold onto to keep themselves sane as they go about fighting.

Other topics could include that in order to truly destroy the opponent's fighting spirit into never wanting to fight again, one must break their preconception that there is a dignified way to kill a person, to show "the enemy" how evil an act it is to take another life, to show that murder is a bloody mess, and to show them that we enjoy their suffering. In essence, becoming their worst monster (But remember, this is only a face. One must not succumb to the act of being a monster or risk losing oneself in the madness, and it will prove fatal).
