a "death flag" can be various things other than "the character die", for example can be "the relation between 2 character end", in Riser's case (THIS IS ONLY A THEORY) can be that he have a fight with Ravel and she don't want to talk with him anymore, that can be a death flag too after all Riser care Ravel very much
