95. PERFECT, Magistrate!

Sunned, ignored and isolated from decent people. If they show any signs of remorse and open to thinking harder about their positions, listen to reason and show that they truly want to learn better ways of dealing with whatever their "devils" may be, then we can start to have a dialogue and their healing can commence. Until then, a shunning is necessary.
