Depends on the people. [ Ned realizes this might make him sound a bit, well, cold. It's not Riley's fault she doesn't know the circumstances of the incident yesterday, so he clues her in, with a hint of anger just discernable around the edges of his words ] The one who died yesterday was the one who murdered Laura in the first place. She was minding her own business, and he walked up and shot her in the heart. He probably would have killed me, too, given the chance, and plenty of other people. As far as I'm concerned, it was karma. I just helped it along a little, and if I got sent back in time, I would do everything exactly the same.

[ Well, no, this time he would touch Laura on purpose, as opposed to on accident, having seen that the outcome was not so disastrous, after all]
