[OOC: This is another torture thread. Scroll on by if'n you don't wanna read; is an account of what happens when someone with two guardians assents to being tortured for the greater good, and by "the greater good" we mean "science and sadism".]

By the time Iris shows, they've not only cuffed Lily across the room just in case she wakes up again, but Mizuki has also put a few more pointy metal bits through Kaden's hand, this time with significantly more care than she did the knife. She knows exactly where elicits the most pain in people. Though it hasn't gotten even close to making him want to let his wings out, yet.

"--only get worse if you don't--ah!" Mizuki turns as Iris scrambles in. "There she is." She gives Kaden a momentary look, as if to ask if he's gotten the data he needs.

She won't get a single thing from him, however, as the instant Iris is in, Kaden's entire demeanor changes from the earlier snarky, smirky banter to that of someone who actually looks afraid and hurt. It's something he can fall into fairly easily if he needs to; he's seen it enough on other people to know what tics there are. He'd never admit to actually having felt it, but there's no coincidence that when he wants to pretend to feel that way, he remembers the worst times his father has hit him.

If they really wanted to hurt him, they wouldn't be working on him.

Nobody deigns to answer Iris's question, however. Mizuki just recoils from the girl as she tumbles past; it's Kaden's uncle, the man with the light, who reaches forward and grabs Iris's collar, hauling her backwards by her shirt. She'll get handcuffed to a sink further away, closer to Lily than Kaden.

"Hey!" Iris yelps as she's yanked back, flailing at the man with clawed hands until he forces her into the cuffs. "What is this? What"-- the fuck, anyone less pious than Iris might have said, and it's more than implied in the tone --"is wrong with you people?" Her voice fades in and out of breaking: she's too tired to hold back the tears, and almost too tired to cry.

Her vision's clearing up a little, now she's had a moment to catch her breath. It's now that she can finally get a sense of her surroundings: Kaden, looking anxious and in pain, not that she needs to look at him to know that. At least the pain part: she can't really feel the anxiety, but she's sure it's just all mixed up in her own. And Lily-- Lily? No, of course she'd be here-- cuffed a little ways away, unconscious. At least, she looks unconscious. Her head's hanging, and her eyes are closed. She hopes she's at least breathing. She can't actually tell.

This has to be some kind of nightmare. No, a hallucination. People don't just abduct and torture people during a paintball game. Not that she's ever played paintball before, but she's pretty damn sure no sane game involves torture as a component.

She may have missed out on the memo that the Fuchizakis don't play sane games.

"Kaden," she calls, though she has no idea if she'll get a response. She has no idea whether this is even real. "Kaden? Are you okay?" She draws in a sniffling breath and scrabbles her shoes against the floor, as if she can push herself further towards him. In reality, the handcuffs won't let her move any closer, but the part of her brain that's screaming Do something! Do something! hasn't quite registered that. "I'll help you, Kaden, I'll help you, just let me...." Let me get out of these cuffs, as if it were as simple as that.

She whimpers in frustration, and yells out the only thing she can think of left to say, in case maybe it'll make the universe change its mind.

"This is stupid! This is really, really stupid!"
