"That is completely uncalled for," Ema's father says indignantly. "It was supposed to be as simple as, as, being in a room with the door stuck! We would never, ever hurt her. Nearly kill her, she's our daughter, we would never! How dare you."
"You seriously thought some insane plot to have him fetch me off a broken platform was going to do anything?!" Ema demands. She... she... this is all getting to be rather too much. "What is wrong with you?!"
"It was supposed to be safe," her mother says again weakly. "Just a way for you to meet. They- they wanted to do more, to try magic or, or, drugs, something- I said no, you weren't supposed to be r-r-risked, he lied." Her mother's crying now. Ema is torn between fury at the whole situation and kind of wanting to hug her.
