A curious, hypothetical question to put forwards to people here after reading something.

If someone you know commits crimes up to the point of murder, how far should the punishment go before they can consider it enough? Would it ever be enough?

Alternatively while I have this thing open; all the coffee tastes the same. Is there truly a difference between the different kinds the stores are offering?

[ Look, it's hard work being stuck in a bathtub as a mermaid sometimes, okay?]

Of course there's a difference in coffees. The one with caramel flavor is clearly superior.

[Jin Ling, that's not even -... Anyway. With the easy part of his reply over, the rest takes a little thinking.]

It would never be enough.

[That's what he wants to believe. If reality is far more complicated, he still doesn't think it's the wrong answer.]

[ Jin Ling! Saying such things!]

I will admit I have not tried them with flavours added.

And never? That is a very long time for such a grudge.

Then your question was overhasty at best, and stupid at worst.

[... No, really, Jin Ling is the stupid one. Go on, pretend to be surprised.]

Apologies won't bring back the dead, and that's if the murderer even apologizes.

Let's turn your question around. What do you think a person can do to make up for such crimes?
