I love it when a the empty space left behind after a character departs is felt. When you can feel their presence in your bones like they never left as the memory of who they were haunts the rest of the characters. Their presence saturates every decision made and their spirit follows regardless of what steps have been taken forward away from the past they were a part of. No matter how the story or characters evolve, the weight and influence of who this person was will never abate. For better or for worse, good influence or evil, their memory will permeate the narrative.
