Which button to push

A simple but stupid question. There was a scene where I let someone leave but at the bottom

right corner there popped up a "kill him"  in a circle which was timed. (it seemed to last only a few

seconds) I am playing on a PS4 and I pushed the "X" button but nothing happened. I reloaded the

game and this time I pushed the "triangle" button which you use to interact with everything. Again nothing

happened. Third time I pushed as many buttons as I could and it worked. I don't know which button worked.

I know that this will happen a few more times so I would like to know which is the correct button to push.

Maybe it is the "X" button or the "triangle" button and I didn't hold them in longer. I have googled it and

tried to find it on the game but maybe I not using the right search words. Thanks

Extra note: I have never played any of ME games before and this is my first. So I can't compare it to

the other ones. But I am enjoying the game. Yes there are several glitches, but so far no game breakers.

It is starting to rank just under Horizon Zero Dawn as my favorite games to play. Maybe they will port

the other ME games over to PS4 later.

    I haven't done the main story in a bit, but I think on PS4 the button you push is R2 for those quicktime decision events.

    From the initial settings menu there should be a list you can scroll down and see. For PC it is called Narrative Action. It will be the same thing you did/button you pushed to shove Peebee off of you in the beginning of the game.

    On the Xbox controller you press RT to take the interrupts. I would guess that on the PS controller you would push R2 since the control scheme across controller layouts tends to match.

    Does it not show it on PS4? On PC it's an obvious mouse-icon with orange right-button in the middle of the circle thing.
