Lara might take issue with that based on a similar philosophy to Chiaki's: That the dead learn nothing. So Lara would probably lash out by keeping the person alive, but find some way to make them incredibly miserable so they wish they were dead. Funny thing though is she'd probably hurt them less for torturing her than for torturing someone she cares about.





If you follow from movie-to-movie, there's a post-novel theory that "James Bond" is a code name that gets re-used through generations of spies. In that case, it would be a pseudonym, which doesn't put the holder of the name at any real risk.





Lara Night would be one that doesn't train much other than an average person, aside from her fighting/martial arts lessons.





It would be a long time before that happens - she'd have to get over the depression first.

Even without being lost or stuck, right now, part of what keeps her so lonely is she doesn't feel like it's fair to bond with someone at home or in the PV too closely, because then she ends up having to abandon them for a while. That, and the whole being immortal thing means she would have to watch them die eventually.

If she were no longer immortal, couldn't go home, and had no superhero career to worry about, that might change. But at first she'd feel intense loss, and take a long while to get over it.





It wasn't so unexpected.
