[Sephiroth is already a man of stiff posture--he doesn't fidget or even gesture much--but he goes very still at this piece of information.

Lance is presenting it as a choice, but they want him to... willingly confine himself. To enter a cell and just trust that they'll let him out again in a few days.

Lance bringing it up this late in the conversation does mean there are a few points working in its favor. One, if the aim is to trap him, there's no need to put so much effort into persuasion when he could just be compelled. And two, that Lance has not once taken advantage of that compulsion drug, even by accident. But that just means he's not going to refuse outright.]


And... if I were found by the police or this task force, I expect their aim would be rather different from your "peace of mind"?
