hashtagafreakingghost | Second 👻 Story [Anonymous Text]

[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.

???

y not

Because he was still one of my best friends.

??????

if ur best frend tryd 2 kill u

then wat do ur NOT best frends do

He DIDN'T try to kill me.
He just wanted to terrify me beyond all reason, something else tried to kill me, but it was exacerbated by all of that.
It's complicated.

frends arnt sposd do that  either??????? ??

well

somtyms

but not byond al reezon

that is just meen



i stil think u shud kil him

[It comes to Ashley's attention that she's probably talking to a child. So let's...try this differently.]

You're right. It was mean. He was incredibly mean and cruel.
But I didn't want to kill him. Hit him a few times, definitely.
It's kind of a moot point anyway. He died already.
It's a sore subject.

_{[She sure is.]}

o! he is al redy ded???

then wats the problm

Well I
don't WANT him to be dead for one.
And it doesn't get rid of the memories or the things I did or that he did.

o i gess that is bad

i allso donut lyk rememmembering sum things

I'm trying to figure out what to do next now. With the memories and all the bad feelings.
Besides kill someone, what do you do? To make yourself feel better when remembering bad things?

well

somtyms i hug a pokymon

and if that duznt werk i howl veree lowd until i feel betr

_{[Nobody sleeps when Wrath is feeling bad.]}

Really?
Screaming actually helps?

[...oh no]

yes

if i dont howl somtyms i woud expload

Maybe I should try it. Get everything out.
I'm glad it helps you. Someone so young shouldn't have that kind of sadness.

What's your favorite Pokemon to hug?

my fayvrit is sleep she is blu tube dog but mama is also gud at huging she is veree big

how do u no i am yong ?

[...That doesn't help much but well.]

The way you type. You said you had to have someone read this for you as well. If the assumption is incorrect, I apologize.

o

i thot i waz doing reely well

_[:(]

[OH NO!!]

You still are! I assure you, I can understand each word you're writing which is a huge accomplishment! There are adults that don't even know how to do that, you're doing wonderfully!

do u meen it??

riting is hard

i am beter at taking

I really mean it.
I'm sure you'll get better, I could

This is supposed to be anonymous so I should say nothing more.

????

wat is a nonimus

It means my identity is secret. I don't have a traceable ID on the network, see?
I wanted to do that so I could be text without a name. Better responses that way.

o.

i am good at sekrets tho

_{[He's not. He's absolutely not.]}

[Oh kiddo.]

You know, I'm absolutely sure you are. It's just for my own peace of mind. I'm not comfortable with people knowing these things about me.

well ok

i gess ther r things abowt me that i donut want pepl 2 kno either, lyk the fact that i am an abomnashun frum hell or that i somtyms put back food that i hav alreade licked

i hope u feel betr soon
