[Since her hotel hostage adventure had gone south, Lourdes has been laying low - not out of a desire to look repentant (she isn't, and she sees no reason why she should pretend that she is), but because she's been sulking. Her powers are gone, which is both horrible and a relief, and she's on probation, which she considers a joke.
But what she's most upset about is that it hadn't worked. She's not at all surprised that she'd been caught, and she'd always figured that it would happen eventually - but before that, when she'd been in the hotel with everybody, it hadn't done anything to make her happy, which had been her main goal in the first place. It hadn't been like Hearst Castle, or even the Horizon. It had been meaningless, just like everything else in the world.
She waits a while before turning to the network. She hasn't actually been planning to address this in any way - not to explain herself, and certainly not to apologize. But one evening when she's sitting around in her apartment, angrily glaring at the tattoo on her wrist, she fires it up and says something on a whim.]
It was for their own good.
[She has no idea how far news of the takeover has spread, or if most of the people who hear this will even know what she's talking about. That's okay. She doesn't care.]

And this isn't as low-key and totally fine as you seem to think it is. Controlling people is wrong, even if you think you're treating them well and giving them what they want.

Whatever your word choice is, you're wrong.

So what?

Whatever your truth is, it doesn't work in the context of this world. It's probably in your best interest to acknowledge that.

[Not purposefully forcing them, she means. It's still a kind of force, because the impetus behind it comes from her, not from them.]
