[ Is it really entertaining to just control people?
She pauses, and for a moment she seems like she doesn't have any more to add to the conversation until she finally parts her lips: ] I don't understand what would be entertaining about forcing people into these situations. It's not a game....

In any case, Claude's expression flatlines slightly. ]
That seems a little over the top. Why have additional hostages? One per person should be leverage enough.
