Ballerina gives Keanu Reeves's iconic assassin a difficult choice; why doesn't he kill his target in the film's climax?

Ana de Armas' Eve is the newest protagonist introduced in the John Wick franchise, and she may be Wick's perfect replacement after Ballerina.

Like Wick before her, Eve is driven by a personal vendetta: the brutal murder of her father when she was still a child by highly trained and heavily armed assassins. Winston (Ian McShane) brings her to the Ruska Roma, where Eve excels at her training as a "Kikimora," serving as an assassin or a bodyguard, as the situation requires.
