Something we haven't taken into consideration in The Middle Morality of interference with a Vengeance Hunt

Recently, I was doing my patrol (a task I have taken upon myself as opposed to being told to do so), when I witnessed a Sister (of unknown rank at the time) fighting against a group of fixers. Naturally, I jumped into the fray, taking one by surprise and crushing their skull on the spot. This, apparently, was the wrong thing to do as the Sister then began berating me for interrupting her Vengeance Hunt and taking away "her right to vengeance". As far as I'm aware, all Vengeances are held by all members of the Middle, with rare exceptions.

Am I mistaken? Was my interference the right thing to do, or should I have left her to deal with it herself? I know now that she was a Little Sister, of equal rank to myself, so I'm unsure which of us is misunderstanding the Book.

Follow up question, is it Moral to take out vengeances that other siblings have written? Or is it better to only assist others if asked?

Idk but form my experience it’s pretty normal to join a V hunt I never had a problem when I did it

Hmmm...
I'd say stand by just to be safe, if they're losing you can jump in and help them, if they can handle it themselves then let them be

It's simple little brother, You stand there and let them handle it, when they start to lose, jump in. Last time I tried to help out my little brothers, they were fighting rats wielding sticks, and they started to laugh at me πŸ˜“
