[Goddamned Wright and his needlessly superpowered law office. He had seen Apollo in action in court but had never been on the receiving end of it. He glared over his glasses before letting out a small but weary sigh.

There was no point in hiding it. Not if he could make a point of how dangerous it could be.]

...You are quite astute Mr. Justice. But I suppose that is unsurprising.

Yes.

[He spoke in a detached manner, almost as if he was describing a case rather than an experience that he had faced, himself.]

I was kidnapped by a group of rebels who disagreed with the government and decided that I must have had some prime information. About a dozen others were taken with me. We were kept in a dark room for nearly a week and subjected to torture. Some of which included a type of magic that causes a creature to haunt your dreams? I still don't understand the how of it, but to this day I have trouble sleeping, and a few scars. A few of us didn't survive. [Glancing away.] I almost wanted them to end it.

I was lucky to be rescued by a friend soon after, otherwise, I wouldn't be here to tell you this.

[Miles looked up, meeting his eyes, intensely.]

I refuse to allow that to happen to anyone again.
