An audience

Deme leaned forward, a serious expression on his face. I appreciate your patience and candor in bringing this matter to my attention, Novella. While it is true that many of our laws and practices are outdated, it is our duty to evolve and ensure that every citizen is treated with the respect and dignity, even if they are in re-education, there are some things that should surpass that fact. he said, his voice steady.

He paused, realising that his thought rant had absolutely nothing to do with the core issue at hand, it was just him simply being him by going off on tangents. Sorry, bit of a tangent, not saying that has anything to do with the issue at hand. Though the rumours around his mental state were definitely circulating, so perhaps it would be no surprise to Novella.
