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.

What do we learn from this?

Make 2 ( the friend of protagonist) look sorry, and make the protagonist look forced upon the decision. Filter that decision out of a climax of an argument.
