If the goal is to bring women to the brink of death in hopes that they will get a glimpse of the afterlife, what is the point of the brutal torture that goes on for days? The one girl was tortured for years, and Lucie probably would have been as well. You can put someone on the brink of death in a matter of moments.
shareYes, and Madame even shows Anna examples of Martyrs who were only in pain for a few hours before they were "transfigured". That's probably the approach they took initially. But Madame mentions that they've improved their system in the 15 years since Lucie was held captive.
It's so easy to create a victim, young lady, so easy. You lock someone in a dark room. They begin to suffer. You feed that suffering, methodically, systematically and coldly. And make it last.So, it appears they had more success intentionally creating Victims (and the rarer Martyr) when they made the pain last over a longer period of time.
Your subject goes through a number of states. After a while, their trauma, that small, easily opened crack, makes them see things that don't exist.
The beating wasn't meant to loosen skin lol it was as you say after that statement that it was meant to break her down mentally. All the torture was done to abuse her emotionally and mentally so that she'd have some sort of out of body experience in order to escape the pain of her torture.
shareI was thinking the same thing lol like can't you just kill them and revive them with a dephribelater?
