soothe

When something seems unbalanced and out of rhythm, just a song can tune things up in a moment. The power of music is therapy.

. . . breathing slowly and rubbing his palm against his chest as if to soothe his heart.

I don't want to die. I deserve, certainly, the most extreme punishment society has, and I think society deserves to be protected from me and from others like me. That's the irony. What I'm talking about is going beyond retribution because there is no way in the world that killing me is going to restore those beautiful children to their parents and correct and soothe the pain.

It is not easy to soothe the immortal gods from their vengeance.
