My entry for Invisible CitiesTournament Round 2 Season 3

In this round, competitors were asked to pick three words from a list provided, and then make a story involving those selections.
My three words were:

'''Ghost'';
''Gunshots can't be taken back'';
''dying'';

The story goes, as a sequel to my first round video ''Catharsis''', Yuna is heavily grieving with the fact she choose her own selfish ways over her lover and although she was carrying out a good deed, it had consequence she thought she could live with. The spirit of her lover Dante keeps ringing in her ears, coming back as shadows and seen as ghosts to her.
Her mentor Luciana (nicknamed Lulu) told her that sometimes spirits are not so forgiven of the way they died and will come back as ghosts and fiends.
She takes Yuna to the Oracle who can perform a higher level of sending where she asks to finally send Dante's soul to the other side.
However, when Yuna see's Dante and he stands there with her, she can almost feel him and the feeling was overwhelming. As an attempt to reverse what she had done she revolted against Lulu and began to run away with Dante but Lulu stood in their way.
Summoning a powerful otherworldly being; and with a heavy burdern she excutes her student to save her from herself.

'Ghost''; Dante's lingering soul that haunts Yuna to the very core of her memories

''Gunshots can't be taken back''; with a heavy regret, when Yuna see's Dante again, its like he never left. She tries desperately to return to how things were if she ran away with him and kept him - without guilt, without the thought she was the one who sent him there in the first place and knowing he'll never be fully alive again.

''dying''; as a last ditch effort, her mentor summons an otherworldly creature and stops Yuna from making a huge mistake and has Yuna be executed.
