As of now, I don't have an answer to your question about why the girl suffers survivor's guilt - indeed, the phenomenon of survivor's guilt is not a "logical" oRead more

As of now, I don’t have an answer to your question about why the girl suffers survivor’s guilt – indeed, the phenomenon of survivor’s guilt is not a “logical” one – but I can suggest that maybe her best friend took a bullet for her leaving the girl only partially injured…
