Enola Confronts Her Brothers, Explained：one's own company
Enola refuses to be managed by her brothers. She tells them she needs no friends because she has her own company, and throws the accusation back at them: "You are judging something for which you took no responsibility." What sounds like defiance is really her claim to a life of her own.
あらすじ
At the Holmes family home, Enola faces her brothers Mycroft and Sherlock. Mycroft wants to send her away to be remade into a proper young lady — "We need to break her and build her up" — while Enola insists she is happy as she is and does not need their plans or their friends.

「Enola Confronts Her Brothers」を読み解く
What's really going on
This is a fight about who gets to define Enola. Mycroft talks about her as a problem to be fixed, announcing, "We need to break her and build her up." Enola answers with a line that sounds simple but is quietly defiant: "I don't need friends. I have my own company." She is not asking to be understood; she is refusing the terms of the argument. Then she turns their judgment back on them, insisting, "You are judging something for which you took no responsibility". Her brothers have authority and money on their side, but she has the one thing they cannot take away — her certainty about who she is. She ends with a rebuke: "And if you still can't see that, then shame on you both." The scene sets up the choice she keeps making: fit the role expected of a young lady, or keep her own mind.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Mycroft want to change Enola?
He thinks she has been raised wild and needs to be shaped into a proper young lady. As he puts it, they need to break her and build her up so she can take her place in society.
Why does Enola say she has her own company?
She is answering the idea that she must be fixed or pitied. She is telling her brothers that she is not lonely — she is content with her own thoughts and does not need friends to feel complete.
Why does Enola accuse her brothers of taking no responsibility?
They left her to be raised at home and now judge how she turned out. Her point is that they are condemning a life they never helped to raise.
Does Enola really not want any friends?
It is more defiance than a rule for life. She is rejecting the friends and plans other people choose for her, not closing the door on every friendship.
