Not that a single mortal is worthy of such adoring attention, mind you, but things add up over time, and mortals are ever fragile beings. I care not to cause lasting suffering if I can help it—this you know—but he must needs be punished, and I cannot simply dispose of him any other way.
Should I act in a means that would incriminate me, he is likely to retaliate, and so on. As such, I plan not to leave a single trace nor trail to follow. Misery will find him, and I will be sure of it.
