Okay, I'm going to bed now. I don't want to spoil precicely what I've got in mind, but I'm not planning on letting her just get away with everything. Yes, I plan to let her have a normal life, but, well, there will be consequences for her actions. I do, however, need to talk to her first, ask her how she feels about what she was doing. I expect she'll feel bad about at least some of what she did, especially if the results are shoved in her face.
You know, I just had an idea that I think should be discussed, although it does assume that I'm right about Kikuri feeling bad about at least some of what she did. What if we just publicize the fact that she's responsible for everything that's happened? We could go find Aya or Hatate (both if possible, but Aya's tendency to... embellish the truth might mean we shouldn't use her, unless the parser doesn't plan to portray Aya in that fashion) and explain everything that's been going on. And we'd make sure they got pictures of Kiikuri to include with the articles. Yes, we'd say that Kikuri regrets what she did and won't do it again, but that's not going to stop people from hating her. We'd make sure the paper(s) got delivered everywhere, including underground, so that everyone would know what happened. We'd want to make sure there was no actual violence, but if you ask me, being hated by pretty much everybody is a pretty damn nasty situation, and certainly a sufficient punishment (and we could always be there if she needed a friend; we're not heartless).
Thoughts?
