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.

you have to take care of yourself

for what its worth
i wouldnt want anyone to suffer when theyre already feeling remorse

[hashtagafreakingghost]

I try as much as I can.

Thank you. I wish my friend had felt the same way
or at least
I wish that I could have expressed to him just how much remorse I felt.

there could still be a chance to do that
you never know!

[ Taking the past tense to mean "I may never see them again because of this place" and not, like, the worst implication there. Glass half full, here. ]

[Well. You know. She's talked with the anon who says people who're dead can come here too so there's
a sad kind of hope]

I can hope.
