In the Sci-fi book, Speaker for the Dead, one of the main character's father is killed by aliens that inhabit this planet after finding out a secret in the origins of their colony. These aliens are known to sacrifice other animals of their same species before, but never before on a human. This casts the galactic community (however nerdy it may sound) into a vengeful state, yet no actions are taken against the "piggies", the aliens. Nohvina, a girl of only 18 originally discovered this secret, and feels as though his killing was her responsibility, even though, in many perspectives, it wasn't. I feel that a lot of things that don't relate to me are my fault. I find that the only thing I can really do is learn to forgive myself. Forgiving myself is one of the hardest thing I know I can do. Like Nohvina, there is always still the itching fear that it was my fault.
