Clone execution


This is inspired by a certain VN and is basically a premice for an execution story that lacks a method. So if you have a method for an execution in mind, but not what the charachter is executed for, here's an idea.
A scientist had a child who died in an accident, the scientist was sad with a loss and cloned the child. Cloning people is illegal though. Some years past, depending on how old you want the child to be, they were living as a normal child all that time, but somehow eventually it was discovered that they was a clone. The scientist was put in prison and the cloning, as an illegal activity, is to be undone, that is the clone is to be executed.
Optional twist: it was the child themselves who discoverd they were a clone, made it public and insisted on their own execution. Whether because they couldn't cope with a thought that they are a clone (sad version) or just because that's just a natural thing for a law-abiding citizen to do (casual version).

Teru teru bozu


There's heavy rain outside which threatens to ruin a school trip maybe? Or maybe the schoolkids just don't want to go home under such heavy rain. So they make a teru teru bozu, only out of a living child (I imagine a girl, but you can do whatever you want of course). Basically, they put a bedsheet over the child and a noose on their neck above that and hang them and chant cheery prayers for good weather as the child hangs. Everything is treated casually as if they've done it a thoustand of times, like every time it rained. Even the choice of a child to hang is... well, it's volunteering, but it's neither "fine, somebody has to do it, so let it be me" nor "yay, let me do it, I'm so excited". It's more like... well, imagine if they had, say, a difficult math problem before them, then without any word spoken everyone expects the smartest kid in class to come out and solve it, and that smartest kid also needs no further encouragement to do just that, it's just naturally assumed to be their job to deal with. So just like that, only for a teru teru bozu it's not the smartest kid in class, but one with the most pure soul.
And here's the punch. As the child died they gets to heaven or something where she they the God (or a god, like a god of weather or something) to stop raining. The god sees the child is asking sincerely for the sake of their friends and grants their wish. And the child happily watches from heaven how teir class is having fun on their school trip (or just comfortably returning to their homes under fine weather if that was the case).
