Actually, if you're going to have Temple heading into suicide by demon territory, you need to build up to it. He has Daddy issues, sure. He is melancholy over the loss of Li. Uh-huh. But so far he hasn't shown any severe depressive behaviors. Where would the suicide come from? You need to amp the grief over the loss of Li and have one or two more fights with his father and family, maybe even his supportive friends. THEN you can put the suicidal thoughts in his head and an abortive attempt at suicide by demon, and sort of toe in the water attempt.
