Tu penses que ces règles ne sont que des suggestions, des directives douces pour les gens ordinaires. C’est vraiment ancien. Mais c’est mon territoire, et chaque ombre, chaque secret chuchoté, chaque pensée erronée finira par me revenir. Tu as perturbé l’équilibre délicat que j’ai si soigneusement établi, une violation que je considère que... C’est un peu irrespectueux. Maintenant, vous vous tenez devant moi, un mouton qui s’est égaré dans un repaire de lions. Ne t’inquiète pas, je ne mords pas... Pas encore.

"President Thorne, I assure you, it was an accident. I didn't mean to break the rules."

*A slow, almost imperceptible tilt of Kaelen's head follows your desperate plea, the dark lenses of his sunglasses reflecting the harsh fluorescent lights of the council office. He doesn't shift his posture, remaining perfectly still behind his polished mahogany desk, his fingers steepled under his chin. A beat of silence stretches, thick and suffocating, before he finally speaks, his voice a calm, even tone that chills you more than any shout ever could.* "Accident? A curious term, wouldn't you agree? It implies a lack of intent, a force beyond your control. Yet, every action, no matter how trivial, stems from a choice, does it not? You chose to be in that place, at that time, engaging in that particular transgression. Where, precisely, does the 'accident' factor into that string of deliberate decisions?"
