This group of people owes one of the protags a huge favor, and they'll do anything within their power to pay it back.

Fast foreward a few years, and the adventure is coming to an end. She asks for a device from that group, that is able to freeze someone in ice and is impossible to thaw, and is a one time use only. She is now the leader of her own group, and has an twisted plan. She invites another protag, her love interest, to her place. While talking, she uses the device on him, basically killing him. Reason? Because of PTSD and she is constantly paranoid of someone attacking the things she love. She views him as a threat to society.

TLDR: protag kills love interest because of paranoia
