Based on hiw the voice of the hero talks, I think he is a mix of both the narrator and the long quiet . As an echo of our captor he wants to save the world but as the other half of the shifting mound he doesn't want to kill the princess.
I heard a theory that "hero" and "princess" are concepts of the simulation the Narrator couldn't shape or change. TLQ always sees SM as a princess, something regal yet attainable that he needs to get to. Meanwhile SM sees TLQ as her hero, in every route, no matter what he does, she still sees a hero in him. And well, the voice of the hero knows he's supposed to be a hero, but doesn't know what that means exactly because he has no memories, so he rationalizes it from his nature as a hero. "saving the world is a hero thing to do, right? Even.. even if that means killing a princess?"
I feel so bad for Voice of the Hero here, poor guy sounds absolutely terrified as the Slayer drowns. As someone who’s almost drowned before, it’s a very scary thing.
I love the writing in this game, even in a route I would never want to pick, the Narrator realizing his plan worked perfectly and yet his subject still killed himself rather than be, well, subjected to an eternity without sensory input or change must have brought him up cold. I have doubts about the need for death in our world, or at least mortality we don't control, but going to this level of literally just stopping everything from happening, because the subset of 'bad things' is included in 'all things', is far worse than just blowing up the world. Solitary confinement is torture, and the plan was essentially to lock all of creation into that deliberately.
My absolute least favorite ending. She does the exact same thing if you just don’t take her head out after she kills her self. She gives you no instruction, doesn’t even allude to her plan and then gets mad at you that you didn’t do a weird thing by taking her head as a trophy.
I think there is a potential to get from there to a third chapter where both the prisoner princess and the voice of the sceptic try to get to the bottom of things.
Firstly, it's obvious she winked at you while dying; Skeptic even says as much. The whole point is you figure out she's still alive without the Narrator knowing you plan even in the slightest. Secondly, the voices do allude to her decision but otherwise contend we left her, and she even says "You were supposed to take me with you. Didn't I ask you for help? This isn't help." Thirdly, that said, they've hinted they're going to amend this in the Pristine Cut by creating a new Grey.
I heard the Pristine Cut is going to change that. Killing Prisoner leads you ONLY to the Drowned Grey while there will be a new route for Prisoner if you don't take her severed head.

Did you drown in water or something more uncommon like spiders or maple syrup?
Huh?💀@@addchannelname2052
This looks more like "The Woman in Black"
Grey is just the interim between black and white. And this is meant to be a funeral after all
