    Taking what you’re saying into account, perhaps it’s a representation of the character’s inner demons? Because I think your interpretation here is rather sensible:

    ‘Talking to your inner self isn’t really that scary, even if it might look like it will be, at first glance.’

    ‘Challenging or confronting your own inner workings may seem to resemble death, but it actually isn’t.’

      Basically yeah, I would say your Jungian Shadow, but thats pretty close to the same idea as ‘your inner demons’.

      Its… maybe a little less total than like, wholly integrating the parts of you you don’t want to acknowledge into a cohesive and fully self aware… self…

      But it is a good way of showing how starting that process can feel and play out, acknowledging that it can seem scary, but can also proceed without catastrophe.
