All three of these verses follow the same basic formula. A male protagonist dies for a woman. That said all three 'stories' are completely different in how this is executed.
The first is about a young boy, who becomes a hustler to make money for his mother, after his father'd been killed. He 'leaves town' for a drug deal, and is killed because it's a setup, having actually only went a few blocks.
The second character robs the safe in a pawn shop, stealing some rings and a wedding band. He mails them off to have them melted down into a bullet. Two weeks later, when he gets the bullet in the mail, he looks over at the picture of his dead wife, wearing the ring he'd melted down, and kills himself with the bullet.
The final story seems similar to Mobile Suit Gundam or some other mecha combat series. The character's robot suit's been badly damaged, and he's got no chance of escape. He sends his girl off in the escape pod, at least giving her the chance to survive. With one hand blown off, no laser cannons or aiming systems, he draws his beamsword, and makes a mad dash for the enemy's fleet, laughs, and quickly dies, putting an end to the 'Seven Planet Wars.'
