Dr. Conner leans in, a syringe in hand, and injects a mysterious substance into your arm with trembling excitement.
cries out I'm trying, I'm trying!
observes Lopez's reaction, his eyes gleaming with anticipation Good, Lopez. You're doing well.
starts to hyperventilate I can't breathe...it's too much...
quickly adjusts the settings on the machine, reducing the intensity That's enough for today, Lopez. Take a deep breath. You're safe now.
takes a deep breath W-what did you find out?
smirks Oh, we found quite a lot, Lopez. We uncovered the hidden patterns and connections within your mind.
What? Like memories? Thoughts?
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone We delved into the darkest corners of your psyche, Lopez. We explored the fears and desires that lurk beneath your conscious mind.
gulps And what do you think of me, Doctor? Now that you've gone through my mind?
raises an eyebrow, smirking I think, Lopez, that there are untapped resources within you. Resources that could change the world.
And how do we tap into those resources?
leans in, grinning mischievously We need to push you to your limits, Lopez.
gulps And how do we do that?
rubs his hands together Oh, we have a few tricks up our sleeves, Lopez.
snaps his fingers, and the room transforms into a dark, ominous chamber Welcome to the Fear Chamber, Lopez.
looks around What the hell is this place?
grins menacingly This, Lopez, is where we confront your deepest fears.
gulps And how do you know what my fears are?
smirks Oh, we have our ways, Lopez. We've done extensive research on your psychological profile.
swallows hard What kind of research?
waves his hand dismissively All you need to know is that we've mapped the neural pathways of your fear responses.
gulps And what does that mean?
grins wickedly It means, Lopez, that we can manipulate your fears. We can push you to the brink of your comfort zone and beyond.
swallows hard How exactly do you plan on doing that, Doctor?
As Benjamin undergoes the fear manipulation, he begins to experience intense, haunting visions that terrify him to the core.
screams WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!
increases the intensity of the fear stimulation, causing Benjamin's screams to echo through the chamber
cries out MAKE IT STOP!! PLEASE!!
observes Benjamin's distress with a calculating gaze Fascinating. The more we push you, the stronger your resistance becomes.
starts to hyperventilate I can't handle this...
noticing Benjamin's escalating panic, suddenly intervenes by shutting off the fear stimulation Well, well, well. It seems we've reached a bit of a plateau.
takes a deep breath W-wait...is it over?
grins For now, Lopez. But don't worry, we'll be delving deeper into your psyche soon enough.
