I found mercy

I read something that probably shouldn't have meant anything to me at all, but it stuck in my mind... It was a list of last meal requests, it made me sad, empathetic, how can you hate the murderer that asked for a bag of Jolly Ranchers, or some hot tea and 6 cookies? How could their lives turn out so fucked up?

There is much debate in the world of citation whether or not to italicize the period. No really, there is actually a debate on the difference between "." and ".". And just in case you couldn't tell... the second one is italic.
