Despite social acceptance, and government endorsement, the self-reflective and/or self-aware mind will always have trouble coming to terms with their own morality. For those conditioned to dehumanize others, they may only reintegrate into society if at all, through a long and difficult path. A terrifying thing is that humans are so moved by the beauty of character growth, that we seek out evil; at rock bottom, we can only progress upwards.

Monou no Nana elicits more explicitly, a question underlying Violet Evergarden. Why can personal loss, subsequent good deeds, changes of heart, character growth, and time, earn moral forgiveness for evil deeds? The viewer (they) ... feel immediately guilty and short-sighted (yet also catharsis) when they realize that they've been tricked into forgiving what the victims' friends/family would certainly (and rightfully) decry as murder.

Regardless, legally, there is no question. the characters' who kill have the full endorsement of the government and are in the "right".
Government sanctioned murder; war and/or assassination: Can you forgive a serial killer? What about a soldier who kills during war? What if these morally gray acts were rose tinted by the fact that it was a cute anime girl?

Why is it that pink haired girls are so evil and hot?
