Painful

"Pain?" Squire Juvier looked at Rui with disbelief. "You want to make pain the trigger to extreme starvation? Have you lost your goddamn mind?!"

"Trust me." Rui sighed. "I know what I'm doing."

Squire Juvier facepalmed himself as he shook his head. "Well, you're the one who's going to be responsible for it, so go for it. It's a crazy stupid idea that serves no purpose, but I've already warned you of that. My responsibility as a guide and aid ends there."

"Then let us begin the moment I am beset by starvation." Rui nodded. He went on to solidify details of the procedure with Squire Juvier. Matters such as the kinds of pain to be inflicted as well as the frequency of infliction of pain and the order.
