Anna's just dealing with some... complicated feelings here. Just enjoy the moment while we all give her a moment.
Hope you enjoy :D
Thanks for tuning in!

There's an off-colour joke to be made here, somewhere...
What's that Green Shit he's breathing?
Way to go. Threaten to kill a Mobster in front of his Guards.
Negotiations are fickle.
Sometimes you extend the olive branch, and sometimes you threaten to murder everyone around you!
Classic carrot and stick.
Again, truth serum thing. They're probably accustomed to people failing all their diplomacy checks. In fact, they probably want to see them only roll natural 1s.
So long as you can bear the brunt of some uncomfortable comments, it's the next best thing to simply reading someone's mind!
In regards to what he's breathing : If someone's consuming something green and it's a future setting, then you know it's gotta be People!
Soylent Green Vaping. It's all the rage
I imagine society would collapse pretty quickly if we were all forced into unchecked honesty, haha.
I can't imagine that this mob boss really cares about any threats made while someone is under the influence of the truth juice, because if they aren't bluffing, they'll be a target long before they can make good on their threat. I suspect he uses it to observe the behavior of his guests to see how he can best leverage their weaknesses and utilize their strengths.
Remains to be seen if Anna has anything he wants. :)
At the least, it's better to know about someone's plans to kill you than to let it be a surprise!
