How dumb would it be as a QM to kill off my quests' waifu?
I was thinking that the main character leads a ground invasion. Soon after there is a battle in space where the warship which the waifu is on gets destroyed, only after a long bloody but successful battle does the MC win and then finds out his wife is dead. This turns him more hateful and detached from his humanity while being plagued by vision of her, changing his view of war from being a glorious path of change to a necessary evil.
