[For the past few days, all Ashley's done is try to figure out how to get the PokéConnect anonymous. It'd been an idea in the back of her mind for a week or so and then- well, it became an urge and now here she is.]

I need to ask for some advice.
This might also turn out to be a moral question, maybe? I'm playing by ear.

The scenario:
You take part in something careless and thoughtlessly cruel. A tragedy occurs. One that costs lives. You've accidentally hurt a dear, close friend.
That friend then methodically and maliciously plans and carries out revenge that inadvertently puts your life, the lives of your friends, and their own life in danger.
What the hell do you do?
Is it right to be pissed when it's your fault it all happened?
IS it really your fault?
What's worse, a horrible accident or a plot purposely designed to hurt others?
How would you try to move forward?
How would you try to forgive yourself?
Do you deserve to?

Consider this a moral quandary if you will. I'd just really like some advice. Some opinions.

Salutations! I'm sorry, that all sounds awful to have gone through, for everyone. And I don't know how much help I'll be, I don't have a lot of experience in this kind of thing.

But I think an accident can't be as bad as someone deliberately trying to hurt others. Especially if they're supposed to be friends!

[She's totally got this anonymous thing on lock, this time.]

Even if the accident took lives and the deliberate action didn't?
Lives other than the one who planned it, that is.

That's
pretty bad, yes.

[She can't say it's not.]

That's not what you were trying to do though, was it? You didn't think anything really bad would happen.

Just because I didn't think that doesn't excuse it.

Well maybe not, but you still weren't trying to hurt anyone! Just because something went wrong or got out of hand doesn't make it as bad as trying to hurt someone on purpose.

Balancing the intent and the actions with the outcome. It's
It's what I've been trying to do since it happened.

Well

[She is in no way equipped for this.]

You'd change it if you could, right?
If you had known what would happen

Of course. I think about it every day.

Right, you definitely regret it.

Does the person who

I mean, do you think they regret it? Hurting people?

In the end

Yes. [She hopes. She-] I think he did.
