-Avatar once faced death and the loss of Simone, during the cataclysm. Now he finds himself again at the edge of death, among the fires of his car. Like before he is trapped and powerless. Deliberately or not, the sight of those spreading fires makes him remember of that last moment with Simone, her life fading out in front of him. All he needs to make a perfect replica of that moment is to be left alone for just a few seconds. The carcrash arrived unexpected to him, but now rather than striving for his own safety, he is incidentally attracted by the perspective of staying there all alone. In some sort of way it is the first chance he's got in his avatar-unlife for coming back to where all had begun: again so close and yet so distant to Simone.
+:So we may toy with these two elements:
+::the frozen winter night marking the moment in which Blackwater's life becomes like suspended in a dream,
+:::and the fire, representing the re- awakening of his past memories and the meaning of pain.
+:(ok, just an idea)

-Also, the principle of fire can be considered as opposite to snow, though a destructive one, its effects can be considered symmetrical to Avatar's personality.  Snow "burns" when one touches it, like fire. But the former has a different effect: it preserves rather than consuming to ash. So we may toy with these two elements: the frozen winter night marking the moment in which Blackwater's life becomes like suspended in a dream,  and the fire, representing the re- awakening of his past memories and the meaning of pain.

+:Freezing. Thawing off. Nice. I may try and work on that symmetry "on the snowy side"...
+:You ''do'' realize that your original dialogue and directions conveyed none of that, don't you?

 :Looking at that "passer-by" is really different from looking in a mirror. Just a few thoughts... Multiple reflection are hell to render accurately.
 :But a Konoko who's "passing herself" on her way out of the compound (during the monologue) is quite appealing, IMO. It's about missed opportunities...
