This might, she knew, be a terrible idea; but she did after all have a failsafe, and the point needed to be made, and she judged that it needed to be made more thoroughly than she had already said in order for it to stick.
"All that I have witnessed says it makes you a destroyer of property and people," Raine said, tone cool. "Your 'restraint' consists of harming objects instead of people, and evidently you cannot even reliably do that. You are in theory a man grown, but given power you act like a petulant child. The strongest person I know could afford the compassion to give his worst enemy a second chance; by comparison, you are weak, unable even to recognize when someone else is controlling you."
All that much further and she'd start to sound like a Grand Cardinal, Raine reflected distantly, but she kept the grimace mental and her face impassive.
