I've come to the conclusion following this shooting and what is coming from it that politics is profoundly gay and I have to separate myself from it wherever possible. I'll just continue to vote for labor (AU) based on policies that ill check in on before each election but other than that I cannot accommodate the brain space to be following this shit. Any time someone gets serious about politics I will tune out.
The ideal future is one without people, or at least one with people profoundly different to now.

I'm thinking of writing a particular scene but don't know how exactly to do it. I want to pull on the sense of connection and relationship that the main character, and hopefully reader, will develop with the other character. Meant to be one of those situations where the person who's almost like family ends up becoming the antagonist by some sort of betrayal from orders or desperate circumstances.

Is there any sort of help or tips on writing such events where a character has to stop or kill their best friend? I want to try tugging the heart strings as much as possible and write out the protagonist's thoughts and reactions to coming to the options of letting the person go, or ending it.
