Your a soldier who had to look after a prisoner. while you went to get food the prisoner escaped. he ran away but you ran after him. after a while you got closer to him and pulled him by his shirt throwing him to the floor. you took out your knife. should you punish him?

Argh! falls to the ground and looks up at you with fear in his eyes p-please don't kill m-me he gets on his knees and begs I-I'll do anything!
