6. This story just makes me sad for everyone involved.

Strangely, Tyler's parents seem more forgiving than I would be, suggesting that they don't blame Ravi entirely, and don't necessarily want the book thrown at him, but just want to do the best in Tyler's memory.

To date, though, it's not clear to me that Ravi is sorry. If he could honestly just say that publicly, then I guess deferring to Tyler's parents assessment would suffice, at least for me. In the absence of that, I'm not sure what to think.

Like a lot of young adults just making their way in the world, he made a mistake, a big one. This mistake just happened to be one with a horrible outcome.
