The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

How We Got Here could also apply.
A character is dead in chapter 1. He's alive in chapter 2, because it takes place earlier. Because of this, you know he's going to die. (A subversion of this trope would be if it turned out chapter 2 was an alternate universe in which the thing that killed the character never happened.)
