After [[spoiler:merging with Kumoko's soul fragment]] she smiles and laughs more, but that's just a veneer over her bottomless anger. It's bad enough that she came very close to naturally acquiring the Wrath skill.

* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': Naruto Uzumaki may be a somewhat ditzy goofball on the surface, but buried beneath that is a significant amount of suppressed rage and hatred towards Konoha for spending the first 12 years of his life being ostracized and reviled for being the Nine-Tailed Fox Kurama's jinchūriki -- leaving Naruto wondering if he could have turned out like the AxCrazy Gaara and the vengeful Sasuke if Iruka hadn't stood up for him at the beginning of the series. Prior to his HeelFaceTurn, Kurama tried to manipulate Naruto into succumbing to this rage; and Naruto eventually confronts an EnemyWithout manifestation of it called Dark Naruto, who he defeats by accepting him as part of himself.

--> "Cathleen. The children," Mr. S. chided. He stared down at his plate, his hand holding the dinner fork balanced as he fought to bring reason to his anger. Stacey could see him fight with anger but she couldn't figure out why. She watched him recover, plunging himself into the conversation with dispassionate vigour. Somehow the fork had helped him. Curious, Stacey picked up her own fork, balanced it on her hand exactly as she had seen Mr. S. do--it did anchor her somehow. Holding the fork in this way made it easier to contemplate his underlying thoughts: Mrs. S. had messed up and would likely do so again if he didn't get the conversation back on track. "The company...."
