[The feed clicks on, revealing the face of Regina; a woman with dark, impeccably styled hair, red lips and a deeply unimpressed expression. The voice she speaks with is deep, the kind of voice that fills throne rooms and city halls.]
Well, well, well, all you... heroes. [Her tongue is unkind to the word, clearly showing her scorn.] How does it feel to be told by the world where you belong? Are you happy? Do you feel confident? I do hear there are places in this world where they fawn over your kind.
[No, Regina does not consider herself among the group, even though she too has been branded a "registered hero". The label is an ill fit, redemption be damned; too long has she been wearing the mantle of the villain and acted the part. She's rebelling against a label forced on her and rejecting a title she doesn't feel she deserves at the same time.]
And in the line of duty, do you conveniently never find yourself in a situation where you might have to kill your opponent?
[A mirthless smirk.]
Fair warning, as your newly appointed family counselor: this might be a good time to tell your children to go play outside. Do have that conversation with them at some point, though. Else they might end up calling you a liar.
Enlist my help only if you must.

Only if you want to.
Just because the world says you have to be something, it's still your choice to be it or not. You can be more than what people expect you to be. [ or less. But Sasaki is trying to be positive here ok ]

If I want to give myself illusions about who and what I am, there are ways to do that that don't require much effort.
[it sounds like drugs but she means magic
which may occasionally amount to the same thing]

It's just we are always told we have to be something and people look at us and expect something from the get go. Whatever it is. A good person, have a good job, obey, be a hero, be an outcast, be cruel, be wrong. [ he smiles a little, shaking his head after ]
You can be whatever they tell you to be, I suppose. Or you can decide you don't want to be that. You don't have to be subject to the roles they cast you in, if making sense?
