[It makes sense. It makes all the sense in the world and he knows it first hand because that was him at twelve, at thirteen, into his young adulthood. So angry that suddenly he's a wanted criminal just for how the Maker made him. He'd tempered over time, probably because of his father, but here's Anders without that experience. Betrayed by his family, forced into a Circle, forced into the Wardens just to escape that life... it's no wonder he's angry. He has even more right to be than Adalwolfe did at half his age.
It makes sense, too, that this is the anger that could turn Justice in the Vengeance. That a spirit could look on this and be overwhelmed. It's consuming, and it's the Chantry's fault more than anything and the worst part is that he doesn't feel he can tell Anders that, or tell him that it gets better.
Does it? Is his definition of better really better? People died, innocent people. They're still dying because of the choices made for them by Anders and Hawke and Justice. Or is it because of the Chantry and the Templars, oppressing mages until they break.
Which came first, the dragon or the egg?]
I can understand that. I was angry, too.
[He idly wipes at a glass, not making eye contact.]
