"I don't know," Delta admits to his older brother, snarl still in his voice. "What is clear to me is that the children in this room need severe discipline and will clearly never receive an allowance until they're out of high school. Because them and their parents are going to get to pay to replace Theta's hearing aids. Which Are. Not. Cheap."

The last words are crisp and angry, clearly punctuated with his fury. Let those children suffer the fear of the cost, of what Delta will do to them. "Beyond that, clearly someone has beat up Theta. There is no doubt in my mind that suing their parents is completely within reason if they refuse to pay."
