>>11963584I think about this a lot, being in a situation where you have to make the hard choice where you have to be exceptionally harsh to a person you really care about for their own good. Will they grow from this pain and blossom into the person they were always meant to be? Are you willing to be forever painted as a villain in their story, although you only had their best interests in mind? Is this just some misguided choice that will only ruin them in the long run? Are you strong enough to make that choice and live with the consequences?
I may write this prompt sometime in the future. In fact, I have a draft of sorts already half-written, so with luck you must see something.
