You are at a park in Creswick, Victoria. The ground is thick with fallen cones, and you can barely walk without stepping on them. One pine with puzzle-piece flakes of bark captures most of your attention. You collect a few bark flakes and cones from the ground to keep as souvenirs.

Bad folks, be they schoolyard bullies or the creeps that currently run our governments might not always be the smartest people - but they *always* learn one lesson exceptionally well.
"What can I get away with?"
And once they know that consequences don't apply to them... well, watch out.

And then, who? Which scene or moment? SO many choices XD
