JAFAAC.
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.
Hi
+1 to pull.
Zzzzzzzzzz
Pull it. Textbook JAFAAC: you must be familiar with the work for it to have any meaning at all.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
Also, what could be used to illustrate this trope? A shot of a secondary character with the main one standing in the foreground? Current image, btw, and agree on pulling:

You still need to be familiar with the work and the characters for the picture to mean anything. All the inoformation would be in the caption. JAFAAC.

Edited my post, because it was being a bit ambiguous.

Yank it hard.
Evil is my favorite color.
Hi
It's yanked.
Hi
Clock is set.
The only trick I can imagine is having a pair of panels — one with the protagonist and one with the deuteragonist. Even that, I don't know if it would really convey.
Hi
Clock's up; locking for inactivity. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
This is so confusing I can't even tell whether it's JAFAAC or not.
Is the blurry character in the foreground the deuteragonist? Is the clear character the deuteragonist?
In the former case, it's just unclear; in the latter case hell yes is it JAFAAC; Kill It with Fire.
Evil is my favorite color.
