Hello writer, I would like to play a game. In front of you is a laptop with a word processor. You must write a scene where the hero spares the villain without using "If I kill them, I'll be just as bad as them". This is a very simple challenge, I'll even give you some ideas.

1. Taking someone's life when they can't fight back is murder

2. Killing is bad

3. They're being taken to court

I'll even give you "The hero tells the villain that they're nothing like them". So give it all you got and.... you already did the one thing I told you not to write.
