I understand the impulse, but we cannot hurt the ones actually responsible, and trying would only hurt those we care about.

[ Ragnor does not particularly care about what would happen to him. But he has Magnus, and he wouldn't want him to be held responsible for Ragnor's recklessness. ]

As far as I know, no amount of legal jargon can prevent what happened.

[ He keeps thinking about contingencies and keeps failing to come up with any. ]

You might be able to stop Nick from being punished by anyone other than you, but that is all, as far as I'm aware.
