And your friend's revenge escalated the situation?
[This is beginning to sound uncomfortably familiar, except... no, Vriska had always acted deliberately, and Tavros would never seek revenge for himself.]
There was no reason to do that. The prank wasn't the right thing to do, either, but you didn't know it would turn out the way it did and it hurt you, too. You didn't want to hurt anyone, right? If you were repentant about it and your friend knew it, there was no reason to keep going. Revenge always tears people apart, especially among friends. Endangering you all might have been an accident, too, but your friend was fucking stupid to go through with their plan in the first place.
