[ Satsuki is sitting in the library, a pile of books around her. All of the titles are non-fiction, from the very basic to the very advanced. She wants to know what is still real and what isn't anymore. She doesn't even look up as she starts speaking, always in such a clinical tone. ]

Waterboarding is similar: you are made to experience death, or near death, over and over again until you are broken or your captor is satisfied. [ She closes the book she was holding in her lap, a book on medieval torture. She was talking about water boarding, but the page was open to an iron maiden. ]

[ She looks back at the screen, her eyes piercing. ]

Tell me about your experiences. What did you learn? What did you feel? And why?
