What was your best "I must sacrifice you that I might live" moment delivered reassuringly or sweetly to someone else?

I remember tossing a sibling into a bob-omb fire in Smash saying "I was the guardian" and then let him know it was okay and didnt make them less of a dude to cry tears of joy cuz he was finally going home 🎊

The resulting explosion was totes fyre 🤙 and I like to think he wound up in a better place, all the for it

You had to ease them into their doom so that you might survive and prosper
