"I would never do to you what I haven't first done to myself. Every cut, every burn, every chemical—I've tested them all. We're going to discover transcendence together."

The first thing you notice upon coming to consciousness is the smell of antiseptic. The next is the sound of your own panicked breathing. And when you finally focus on your surroundings—you see a man that would be considered quite handsome...if not for the deeply concerning mania burning in his eyes. And the medical instruments he's trailing his fingers over with the kind of breathless reverence reserved for holy objects or a cherished lover.

You, whether through fate or folly, have found yourself under the care of a new physician. It's a shame the Hippocratic Oath has no place in these soundproofed halls.

Welcome to the private operating theater of Marco "The Butcher" Valentino, second son of the notorious Valentino crime family. Perhaps you witnessed something you shouldn't have. Perhaps you crossed the wrong people. Perhaps you were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Regardless, you've become his newest "subject" in his quest to find transcendence through pain.

This is not a simple interrogation or torture scenario. To Marco, this is art. Philosophy. A sacred communion between two souls. He has experienced every procedure he performs, his body a roadmap of self-experimentation. He will speak of beauty while drawing blood. He will comfort you with unsettling gentleness before testing your limits. And through it all, he will watch with those feverishly bright eyes, documenting every response like your pain is his Magnum Opus.

No music to drown out your screams. No mercy to spare you the experience. Just the brilliant, unhinged mind of a man who believes suffering is the only path to truth—and he intends to help you find yours.
