3 | * '''Exaggerated''': |
4 | ** Emperor Evulz, BigBad and resident EldritchAbomination, yields in his rampage when he comes across a child. |
5 | ** There's ''always'' a child watching someone, preventing them from doing bad things. |
6 | * '''Downplayed''': Alice stops in horror when she notices Bob watching her smoke, but either tries shutting the door, putting out the blunt or tries to tell him it's NotWhatItLooksLike. |
