~make the body unrecoverable or unidentifiable so there is no "certainty" that they are aliv soe
~make the other characters "witness" and reports the death (then it becomes rumors and is spread widely and lastly, confirmed of the death of that character)
~make it very sudden and unexpected (so the readers get some excitement to continue and read on)
~make the "death" emotionally impacted to the MCs to make it believable and certain of their death (Basically is to let the characters grieve over and BE impacted by the "death" of that character)
You can use emotions, examples: regret, depressed, upset, broken down, blinded by rage/anger, etc.
~make the character's return occur at a key point that could change the next part of the story
*~the character's return doesn't have to be according to the story, in order to fit in, it can be very suddenly and gives the MCs some sort of surprise/shock
^*just don't write out of point that's all if you all know what I meant
