We, the readers, are the only ones who can learn from the story: the characters have already lost everything.

If a character loses enough lives, they are given the option to continue up to three times before the game is over.

This is the first game where the characters lose their items when they get hit.

And it didn't matter to him if his characters won or lost in the end.

And everyone trying to claim it's "simple" because only one or two characters lost something: No, you're wrong.

This is, of course, the play where half the characters lose their lives, or, at least, a limb.

All characters lost a year in age; Jonny became 13.

The character being revived will lose enough experience points to drop their most recent class level.
