You'll be hard pressed to find anyone here who doesn't feel the same way.
[A little bit of honesty from the stranger, eh? There's a difference in how he said that compared to his earlier "very angry" comment. Atem looks him over once, twice, then his gaze narrows at that folded up list of sins.]
That's not why Wrath made my list.
[An ache begins to thrum behind his eyes. Atem's no stranger to headaches, especially after that incident with the cultist (or hanging out with a certain CEO in general), but this isn't like any he's experienced. Is that the game's incentive? Fine, fine, he'll toss a stone and see how deep these waters go, Lucifer.]
I won't bore you with the finer details, but I use black magic to punish those scumbags. The guy who runs this place thinks my methods are excessive. [He raises a finger to accent his point.] I think they're justified. At least I give them a chance... If they're truly innocent, they wouldn't lose a Shadow Game.
[He doesn't expect anyone to know about Shadow Games, and while he doesn't like ever explaining it... The past three times he ever ended up in one of these rooms was because of them, and he thinks Lucifer's listening in.]
