Second 👻 Story [Anonymous Text]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[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.

I hope that you're able to see them again soon.

I think you're right. There's no sense living in the past. The first step in going forward is being able to say that to yourself.

I wonder, sometimes, if that's why some of us came here. It's peaceful and relatively quiet compared to home. Maybe someone thought we would need the peace and quiet to recover.

If it is, it could've picked a bit of a better time. I'd much rather have had a few days at home to relax rather than come straight from the frying pan.

It really could have picked a better time for everyone, but I get what you're saying. The timing sucks.
