Chapter 13: Are You Watching?
[One week passed. The torture continued to escalate, and all kinds of tools were used on you.]
[Even without food, even with your body constantly broken, every morning you would be restored back to full health. And so, you kept holding on. But by now, your disheveled appearance, your bloodshot eyes, and the way your body tensed with every breath — it made you seem less like a man... and more like a beast.]
[Coren seemed to enjoy the changes taking root in you. In a particularly good mood one day, he suddenly cut off one of your fingers and smiled.]
["I think I’ll send this to Selena. Want me to include a message?"]
[You didn’t reply. You just clenched your jaw so tight, your teeth felt like they’d break.]
[And just like that, the days dragged on — your time with Coren continuing without pause.]
[Another week passed. And then finally... a change.]
[The door creaked open — not with the heavy stomp of Coren’s boots, but the lighter, steady steps of someone unfamiliar.]
[A young woman entered the cell, her eyes sparkling with interest as she looked you over like you were some rare animal. She didn’t speak at first, only scanned you from head to toe — and then, without turning, she spoke to Coren.]
[Her gaze sharpened as it landed on him, and in a tone dripping with disdain, she said, "You’ve had your fun. I’m not letting you ruin my test subject any further. Get out."]
[A small argument broke out after that, but the woman — with eyes that looked at him as if he were nothing more than an insect — didn’t waste her time. She didn’t spare Coren even a few more minutes before she really kicked him out.]
[That was how your torture shifted hands. Now it continued... under her.]
