"I'd like to know something." Lucius said.
"...Hm?" Emilia suddenly jerked her head up as she realized she was being spoken to. "Oh, um, okay. What is it?"
"Why exactly are we here?"
"What?"
"In our EvoLock distribution contract, one of your few provisions is that you should be personally consulted before we approve EvoLock applications for any youth residential programs that might fall under the umbrella of the "troubled teens industry"." Lucius stated. "I'm more than aware of its reputation, but I'm curious as to why it was one of the few industries you called out specifically."
"Because I've been subjected to it personally." Emilia's expression grew dark. "It's just legalized kidnapping, imprisonment, and torture that gets justified using pseudoscience and religious rhetoric. My parents sent me to one to try and "correct" my sexuality after I came out to them. Got the whole kidnapping routine and everything. Paid extra for the deluxe-class child abuse, y'know."
"Then why entertain the idea of approving an EvoLock application from a member of this industry at all?" Lucius questioned. "Surely you'd rather have them rejected by default."
"I want to deny their requests in-person so I can tell them what I think of them directly to their face." Emilia's eyes narrowed as she stared back out the window.
"I see."

"I-I don't know what happened, just one second I'm completely frozen, the next I'm suddenly burning with rage!" Emilia said. "It's like something flipped a switch in my brain!"
"Well, Wrath is one of the Seven Deadly Sins." Lucius said.
"Wait, that sudden switch-up was you?" Emilia blinked. "But why? You hate using your powers."
"I despise arrogant bottom-feeders like that man even more." Lucius tsked. "He reminded me of my father."
"Oh, I didn't even think about that." Emilia paused for a moment, then smiled and shot Lucius finger guns. "Hey, Daddy Issues Twinsies!"
"No."
