    The protagonist seeks help from an ally or peer within the environment but is denied, reinforcing their isolation and the hopelessness of their situation.

  5. 5

    The Temporary Surrender

    The character finds a demeaning but necessary place to rest within the conflict zone, visually representing a low point in their journey.

  6. 6
