You're deciding whether to give a character who's suffered a happy ending, or to kill his love off and leave him miserable
Yeah, I'm seriously contemplating killing off a very broken character's lover... I'm a sicko.

What genre are you writing? Context is important in making a final decisioning on these kinds of things, really.

I was joking lol In all seriousness I'd reccomend writing out both scenes and seeing what you prefer

I'd say choose the one that fits you fancy more. And if desired, make an alternate ending (if it is the ending anyways. If not... I have no idea sorry )

Hmm okay if it's crime then I suppose it doesn't matter which way you go. I personally love tormenting characters and readers. However, I think that maybe you should write out both ideas and see which feels better when reading over it yourself after writing it.

Know the feeling.
Originally, I was going to make one of my characters grow from a hopeful coward into an unflinching healer (the series spans 5 years, so he goes from 13 to 18). His story was sorta vague, but at least I knew how I wanted it to progress. But then I got inspiration. Also known as the kiss of death for characters. Now Salux is going to betray his companions, including those he used to look up to, driven by grief and internal loneliness. Then he'll rise through the enemy's ranks, becoming one of the most powerful men in the nobility (both politically and physically), and do terrible things. His former friends grow to hate him and vow to kill him. Then at the very end, when he's dying, it's revealed he was an internal spy the whole time. And the others live with the guilt of killing him.
