The whole social order concept of developed countries is based on externalised revenge. That is, the law enforcement and the justice system. I still expect that's how it will be handled here. Ruin the man's whole career+reputation and put him behind the bars for years. It would bear no ill consequences for Aqua. He and Ruby would live knowing the man is paying for his crimes, yet Aqua could keep living his own second life, trying to achieve something in life purely for himself (and the living ones he cares about). If he murders someone, even if he doesn't get caught immediately, he would still need to keep living with the knowledge he's a murderer as well, just like the scumbag who stabbed Ai to death, plus he would always be looking over his shoulder, wondering when the police will be catching up with him. If they do, it would likely hurt Ruby as well, labeling her the sister of a murderer. Forget about getting married if you are hiding one of the most serious crimes and have any sense of decency.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
