"I'm not sure I should become involved."
Hi, I wondering why it used "become" instead of "be."
I can't really distinguish their meanings, they seem very similar to me.
Thank you.

"I'll be your friend"
But why does this sentence uses "be" when the speaker is not yet the listener's friend?

I'll eat breakfast at 8 tomorrow.
