What if it was something good instead?

Not sure what that trope would be honestly.

If the other character died, it could be Survivor Guilt.

Close. But it mainly focuses on a character wishing something happened to THEM instead of another character.

Something like You Should Have Died Instead, Inverted Trope?
Edited by PhysicalStamina It's one thing to make a spectacle. It's another to make a difference.
Do we have this one? Where a character wished something bad that happened to another character (usually someone they love) happened to them instead? Regardless if they where involved in the situation?
