You are saying that you imagine Bella's sensation when
she is torturing someone into insanity is akin to what
you feel when you watch your childrens play? Well, fan
my brow! I'm speechless. The banality of evil indeed!
I still don't see any sure way that "grim satisfaction"
can be distinguished from Voldemort's "sense of purpose
and power and rightness", so I still consider it Dark.
