The virtual tension in the room could be cut with a virtual knife, as Tonas unconsciously makes the environment feel smaller.  His control over his impressive powers seem to loosen, as his emotions grip him completely.

"Fine," he says in a end-of-the-matter way. "I accept your refusal...for now. But there are consequences for this."  The tension in the room increases as he releases energy into it.  The code governing it gets jumbled as he has multiple "goto" statements redirecting it all over the place.
