(oh look! that's the panel my icon is from! chapter 80)
I just love how long Arakawa gives for this to sink in.
Hawkeye has responded to a comment of Wrath's by bringing up how betrayed his wife would feel to know she was married to and mothering inhuman creatures, and his reply is that his wife is the one thing he chose for himself.
That's such a spiteful thing for him to say in Hawkeye's face (I'm not the first to think it's a comment on how Hawkeye cannot choose to marry the person she wants to), but it's also so bewilderingly human.
He's not a drone just doing Father's will the entire time - there's a part of him yearning for individuality and choice in his life - and he's not even always WRATH incarnate - it's plain to see he treats his wife well.
And Riza is stuck trying to figure out how human he really is.
Is he mocking her? Or showing how little he cares for Mrs Bradley's pain when she learns about Pride and Wrath? How could he choose a wife, knowing that she would be sacrificed along with the others on the Promised Day?
Note that following this Riza is so shocked that he has to redirect her to her task (making his tea). We see her fluster, but there's no continuation of the conversation. She's just aghast. There's basically just some silence, and when it has all sunk in, this is where her face has progressed:
(heartbroken for Mrs Bradley and for herself, chapter 80)
His satisfied smile shows just how pleased he is to have hurt her. He displays wrath not just in violence, but also in twisting the emotional knife.
