@rochellaine There are two elements that come to my mind, which I think can work separately or in tandem.

1. The betrayal of conviction.

Basically, think of a die-hard zealot watching the leader they’ve idolized and followed for so long renounce what he’s said and done. It would make them furious; all their former passionate support would turn into a passionate anger–towards the enemy, towards the “traitor”, towards everything and anything.

2. The betrayal of belief.

This one is similar to that of conviction, except it’s like the roles are swapped. Think of a teacher, mentor, guide, or just higher supporter in general. Maybe even just a friend. Point is, they believe in the MC. They believe… they can do that thing, or be better than how they’ve been, or beat the system, or whatever.

And then when they don’t… when they give up, or choose the bad, or fail to complete their mission… that belief is left to die. The person can be filled with anger, or more likely, disapproval. They disagree with what the other person did, or failed to do, and look down on them–whether out of hate, fury, or just sadness–because of it.
