[Why are they continuing this? John doesn't even know. He'd expected Alfie to just slap his apology away and be done with it. But here they are, still coming back to this. And a part of him just wants to agree because... honestly, Alfie's not really wrong. He realizes he's been quiet on an open line longer than he should be.]

Yeah. Fine. Yes. That's what I want to do.

The only reasons I can think of where murder or excessive violence are acceptable are defense of others or defense of yourself from some physical harm. Those are the only things I'd accept. Anything else, I'd want someone to face some sort of consequences for what they'd done. Doesn't matter if the other person came back.

If I broke my own rules there, I'd expect to be punished for it. Somehow. I'd turn myself in on it to someone who would punish me on it, as well.
