Can I forgive two people at a time, or is the focus usually on only one person who acts unfairly?

You certainly can forgive two or more people if both were involved in the one incident in which there was injustice toward you.  If the two people hurt you in two entirely different situations, then you could forgive each one separately, one at a time.  You also can forgive a group of people if this group was unjust to you.  Groups as a whole can engage in unjust actions and so your forgiving the entire group, even though more abstract than forgiving one person at a time, is reasonable to do, if you so choose.
