person A: I stole some candy from the store. I felt so bad about it.
person B: Did this happen recently?  Did you take it back and admit the error?
person A: It did...I committed the heinous crime yesterday in a fit of gluttony. I haven't told anyone about it because the candy lies at the bottom of my thieving stomach. I don't know how I'll ever be able to sleep again.
person B: Well_comma_ you may want to think about admitting it to the store manager and paying for it.  Especially if it's bothering you this much_comma_ it's the ony way to resolve it.
