Well, now I needn't say anything at all. "Prison" is exactly the word I was thinking of. [His smile turns a little dark.] Several of the kids from my own world were raised in that sort of isolation as well, in various forms. Even for the one who was truly beloved within her tiny world, and who chose her own captivity...it was a prison.

[Break is aware of Kinzo. Not because Ange let him know, but because Qrow did, after he got the information from Sayo in one of her drunken network fits and he turned right around to give the other local uncle this crucial information in their niece protection job. To put it crudely, Break would not piss on that man if he were on fire, which as we all know is a problem Kinzo sometimes has. On this, at least, they can all agree.]

To raise children in such a circumstance, perhaps especially children meant to be servants...no matter how you look at it, there's something of a cruelty inherent in that, right? Even in situations where such a thing is no one's fault or can't be helped, that cruelty is simply something that is.
