I’ve always hated the trope of a random third party suddenly appearing near the end of a BL (usually the love interest’s ex or best friend) to basically interrogate or provoke the MC, telling him what he should be feeling and doing while MC just awkwardly sits there and listens for some reason. They always have the same smug, “I know something you don’t” personality type, and it’s just annoying. Let the two characters work through their emotions on their own. A last minute third person provoker isn’t always needed as a “push”
