I am a result. (2.3)
This is an important aspect of Zusak's Death. He doesn't cause death, but, rather, exists because people die. He doesn't want people to die. It just means more work for him, and he would prefer to be sunning it up on a tropical island sipping strawberry daiquiris.

This image of her dying brother will haunt Liesel for many years and come to her every night as she sleeps. It's a very traumatic experience that shapes her life in many ways.
