Jason requested Miss Adams by name. Within seconds she spots a weakness and slices into it. The flashes of his fury amuse her. She pushes harder. The last time he speaks out of turn, a vicious clamp on the tongue directions him into silence. She is brutish but honest. 'Do you aspire to subjugation? Then suffer, banger.'
Afterward, as he twists in her string, she taunts him. She dares him to speak. He remembers the pain and focuses. She attacks his pride and dignity. She brings the struggle to him. He battles the pain and wrath in his own head, despairingly trying to hold on.
