* '''Straight''': [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Angel Fred]] gives Daniel the choice between eternal afterlife in paradise, and returning to the world of the living. Though seriously tempted to stay in the afterlife, he eventually refuses.
* '''Exaggerated''': The afterlife presented to Daniel is very clearly a world of paradise, and Angel Fred makes it clear that all of his worries will be eased forever if he decides to stay. He still refuses the offer.
* '''Downplayed''': The afterlife presented to David is pretty much identical to the world he left, so it is very possible he wouldn’t even know the difference. He still refuses the offer.
* '''Justified''': Daniel has UnfinishedBusiness in the world of the living; he made the choice to go back because he couldn’t leave it just yet.
* '''Inverted''': Daniel wants to ''stay'' in the afterlife; however, Angel Fred tells him that he still has UnfinishedBusiness. Daniel is sent back to the world of the living even though he repeatedly begs to stay.
* '''Subverted''': Daniel decides to return to the world of the living – however, Angel Fred then reveals that [[WhamLine there was never a real choice to begin with]]; Daniel has been KilledOffForReal, and he was going to be in the afterlife no matter what his answer was.
* '''Double-Subverted''': After one in-universe week, Angel Fred asks Daniel what he thinks of the afterlife and whether or not he still wants to go back. Again, Daniel answers that he wants to live again; this time, Angel Fred is impressed by Daniel’s resolve, and pulls a few strings to allow for Daniel’s return to the world of the living.

Not only did the characters [[EarnYourHappyEnding earn their happy ending]], but his sacrifice means that Daniel’s friends don’t have to agonize over any kind of decision to kill him.
* '''Averted''': There was never a choice to begin with. Everyone, once dead, is KilledOffForReal, and whether they automatically go the afterlife or are forced to wander the earth as a ghost depends on the story.
* '''Enforced''': Having already made the decision to kill off Daniel, the author presents his editors a number of ways in which he could possibly come back – one of which is simply that Daniel refuses to accept the paradise of the afterlife because his mission as a mortal was not yet finished. That scenario was the one the editor urged him to use.
* '''Lampshaded''': “They always choose the living world over this paradise!”
* '''Invoked''': Normally, people who die are KilledOffForReal and immediately sent to the afterlife. However, Daniel has been [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor so morally ambiguous throughout the story]] that Angel Fred gives him a choice, instead.
