Reframe Your Protagonist as the Villain of Someone Else's Story

Every protagonist is the villain of at least one other story. The question is whether you have written yours as if they are not. This reframes the hero from a secondary character's point of view, identifies the moral failure hiding in their heroic actions, and tells you what to carry forward.

The user has a protagonist they have been writing sympathetically. This exercise asks them to imagine the same character as the antagonist in a different story.
[a brief description of the protagonist and their main story] is the starting point.

<task>
**Reframe the protagonist as a villain from another character's perspective:**
1. Identify a secondary character (existing or invented) whose life is genuinely made worse by the protagonist's actions
2. Summarise the story from that character's point of view, in which the protagonist is the obstacle, the threat, or the cause of harm
3. Find one thing the protagonist does in the main story that, from this angle, looks like a moral failure
4. Note how this reframe changes (or should change) how the protagonist is written going forward

<output_format>
- Secondary character established: one short paragraph
- Alternative story summary: 80 to 120 words in that character's terms
- The moral failure: one or two sentences identifying what changes when seen from this angle
- Note for the writer: one paragraph on what to carry forward
