She has witnessed so many tragic deaths since childhood that she now refuses to leave her room or even look in mirrors. The scene where she sits alone drinking tea, lamenting that she has not left her chambers in so long, is so sad. (Dubbed) My Ending, My Choice really explores the burden of knowing the future.

The philosophical question posed in this episode is fascinating. People say soothsayers are blessed, but only those cursed by it know it is actually a torment.

The emotional tension in (Dubbed) My Ending, My Choice is off the charts!
Watching Diana's reaction to the sudden death scene in (Dubbed) My Ending, My Choice was heartbreaking. She claims there is blood on her face, but it is clearly a hallucination caused by her trauma.
