except that poetic justice ISN'T justice. And Corvo is still murdering his targets, he's just doing it indirectly.

The brand means Campbell may not recieve food, shelter, or medicine from ANYONE. He's dead.

The Pendletons are going to be enslaved and worked until they die emaciated, sickly husks. Dead. And Treavor STILL OWNS THAT MINE.

lady boyle won't be killed unless, you know, she tries to escape and Brisby turns out to be the VIOLENT kind of woman-kidnapping psychotic. and either way, rape.

At least Havelock and Burrows can theoretically be put on trial. on that subject, note that the guards seem to think Burrows will get life imprisonment, not a death sentence.
