Editing Cradle (section)

===Emotion Power===
Cradle also had a secondary emotion power, his version of Love Lost's power. When boosted, it allowed him to sense people in his vicinity.<ref>And… two drainings of other denizens of the room completed, the emotion power with no tokens felt instinctively stronger than any other power he’d had before, when he’d had all three tokens in hand.<br/><br/>
He only felt out the barest traces of it, the flexibility and the shape of it, and he sensed the people outside the building. [[Heavens 12.f]]</ref>

Cradle's emotion power allows him to sense the emotional weaknesses in people, letting him know exactly how far he can push things with them before they will break.<ref>“You stupid bitch,” Lionwing said.  “He can draw it in.  Read your weaknesses in chemical code, running through your head and your veins.  He earned money blackmailing people by targeting them.  He got more ground with people by sensing how far he could push them before they gave.  And all of that was before.  When he woke up tonight, he was strong.  What he’s been doing?  He’s been gathering what he needs.”- [[Heavens 12.9]]</ref>

This ability comes from his connection to [[Anguished Heart]].
