I hate the trope where the savvy one doesn’t warn the naive one that a supposed friend is actually a manipulative psycho to “avoid hurting their feelings”. It just leaves them vulnerable to harm and makes an easily resolved issues go on forever.

    It’s just objectively dumb logic. Like “Wow it would really hurt my friend’s feelings to learn that our other mutual friend is deliberately manipulating a third party to sabotage her reputation,,,, so I guess I just won’t say anything and let her keep associating with both of them, staying open to manipulation and harm”. If my friend did that I would cut them off too, like why didn’t you warn me about such a psycho in my life!?!
