In the old series (maybe in modern ones, but I don't watch them), there was a popular plot twist when one character from the hero's team betrayed them and sided with the villains. It could be revenge (mostly) or a breakdown of moral views. Well, or something else.
But what if the reason for going over to the side of the villains is fatigue from the company of friends because of too different views and characters? In the end, it's a reasonable option, considering that such stories are usually about teenagers.
The character G is an aroace sitting in a closet, with an incredibly complex and gloomy character. He himself is not enthusiastic about his own orientation, and prefers not to think much about it, preferring to deal with his own mental traumas left by his toxic parents and several years of social isolation.
Weeks pass, their team learns to deal with monsters, villains, acquires new abilities, and at some point, character G notices that after communicating with the rest of the team (from trying to call them friends, his tongue is numb) he is literally empty and exhausted.
They often misunderstand his words, or do not listen at all, which leads to disputes, as a result of which, it is his fault.
And one day, their commander makes an announcement that he has started dating (the character sighed with relief that he would no longer see them dancing around each other) with the healer of their squad. But it turns out that's not all. It turns out that the healer is asexual, and after that all hell broke loose.
Hell, personally for the character G.
Because everyone in their company literally started walking on thin ice because of the healer, which character G found ridiculous. He had the feeling that he had fallen into some kind of sugar fanfiction, where everyone accepts each other, talks about their feelings at every opportunity, and shows excessive sensitivity. It felt like they were children on a playground completely covered with pillows.
They no longer discuss the relationships of classmates, romantic films with high ratings were thrown out, and their leader began to behave as if he were the head of some kind of sect that promotes the rejection of different points of view, and compromise as a mandatory factor in communication.
Character G got more and more tired, and reduced communication with by a team more and more.
It all got to the point where he began spending time with the villain, with whom he accidentally (although the character G is still sure that their meeting was arranged) met at a night movie screening of his favorite movie series. He may have been manipulated, but the character G was so bored by the lack of high morals and black jokes about sex that he gladly sided with the villain when he proposed.
