...
In the initial phase of the experiment, a facade of normalcy veiled the proceedings. For the first five days, the subjects' resentment simmered beneath the surface, justified by the false promise of freedom upon completion of the test—thirty days without sleep. Their monitored conversations and activities yielded troubling observations. As time wore on, their discussions delved into ever more harrowing recollections, their collective narrative shifting toward the depths of despair.
By the fourth day, a sinister pall hung over their interactions. The tone grew increasingly macabre, echoing the shadows that now encroached upon their weary minds. What had begun as anguished protests gradually gave way to the revelation of traumas long buried, each tale more disturbing than the last. The experiment's unwitting participants unknowingly descended into a labyrinth of their own tormented pasts, where darkness and desperation intermingled, breeding a sinister ambiance that gripped their very souls.
(Prisoner 1) "You know, my father used to abuse me and my mother... I would assume that you all think he was the typical drunk father, but he wasn't actually. He had some... psychotic tendencies which he started to show after he and my mother got married and had me. My mother was so madly in love with him that it was like he was pulling strings on her mind. She was so incredibly gullible that everything he did to me was a 'lesson' to be learned from him..."
(Prisoner 2) "Heheheheh..." His eyes start to uncontrollably twitch.
(Prisoner 1) "Every time I wouldn't get a perfect score on a test, my father would punish me. He left me with no food. Everything I had to do needed to be perfect for him, or I wasn't enough. Whenever I didn't show much enthusiasm about being an intellectual, he would punch me in the face, 5 times specifically, and if I did it again it would be 10. I couldn't do anything; he would play with my mind and beat my body. Every time... 'I wanted 100% on that test,' 'Have better clothes,' 'You lack determination,' 'You lack motivation,' 'You don't try enough,' 'Disappointment.' So many words that would discourage a child. I had no friends; they thought I behaved like a robot and was creepy."
(Karito) Heavy breathing. "Yeah... a single fucking defect makes one a 'weird' person. I just wanted to beat the shit out of those people... and kill them... kill them..." Continues mumbling.
(Prisoner 3) Moaning in the corner of the room.
(Karito) "Hey, you fucking pervert! Stop jacking off in the corner! It's fucking disgusting!"
(Prisoner 4) "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Laughing uncontrollably.
(Prisoner 3) "I'm almost..."
(Karito) "Hey, you fucking pervert!" Punches Prisoner 3.
Karito, consumed by his growing rage, mercilessly pummeled the man who dared engage in repugnant behavior in the corner of the room, his complete lack of shame only fueling Karito's disgust. The relentless torment of sleep deprivation had taken its toll on all five prisoners, their minds teetering on the precipice of madness. The insidious gas they had been inhaling during this ghastly experiment wrought distinct and horrific effects upon each captive.
One prisoner descended into the depths of desolation, a heavy shroud of depression enveloping his being. Another succumbed to fits of uncontrollable hysteria, laughter echoing through the room like a haunting melody. A third prisoner's body convulsed with incessant twitches, as if marionette strings were being cruelly manipulated. The fourth prisoner, cursed with an insatiable libido, found himself in a perpetual state of arousal, his desires tormenting his every waking moment.
And then there was Karito. The darkness festering within him had transformed his very essence. His anger had become a raging inferno, and his psyche, tainted by the relentless torment, harbored psychopathic tendencies. No longer bound by reason or restraint, he lashed out with brutal force, threatening to snuff out the life of the repulsive offender.
The guards, their faces hidden behind cold, uncaring masks, were compelled to intervene, their presence a grim reminder of the captives' utter powerlessness. With calculated precision, they stepped in to separate the combatants, knowing that without their intervention, Karito's wrath would have ended in bloodshed.
Subdued but not sedated into slumber, both Karito and the offending prisoner were administered a potent sedative, a feeble attempt to pacify their restless souls. Yet, with each passing day, their sanity slipped further away, the relentless onslaught of their twisted reality pushing them to the brink of complete dissolution.
(Scientist 1) "Prisoner 5 is becoming increasingly uncontrollable too early into the experiment."
(Scientist 2) "Well, I can't say I blame him. I would be infuriated as well if someone were engaging in such obscene behavior in the corner of the room."
(Scientist 3) "The entire purpose of this study is to observe their ability to remain awake under the influence of the gas during wartime. Attempting to calm him down seems counterproductive, doesn't it?"
(Scientist 4) Takes notes "Well, this is an experiment after all. As long as they continue to stay awake while exposed to the gas, it should yield valuable results."
(Scientist 5) "I can't shake this sense of foreboding. We're only four days into the experiment, and it's already spiraling out of control..."
(Scientist 1) "Yes... It's becoming increasingly clear that this will not end well."
...
As the fifth day dawned upon them, the prisoners' grievances reached a crescendo, their voices echoing with bitter discontent. The weight of their circumstances bore down on their fragile minds, unleashing torrents of paranoia that swept through the dimly lit room. An eerie silence settled in, broken only by hushed whispers that slithered through the air, seeking solace in the cold embrace of the microphones and one-way mirrored portholes. Their delusions took a twisted turn, morphing into a perverse conviction that salvation awaited those who betrayed their fellow captives to the enigmatic experimenters. A perverse dance of mistrust unfolded within the chamber, as each prisoner, consumed by their own mounting fear, vied for the favor of those hidden behind the watchful eyes of the mirrors. The researchers, themselves shrouded in a veil of uncertainty, contemplated the insidious influence of the gas, questioning if this descent into madness was an unintended consequence or a calculated design. The tendrils of darkness gripped the minds of the prisoners, entwining them in a web of manipulation and despair, leaving the researchers to navigate the labyrinth of their subjects' deteriorating sanity.
(Prisoner 1) Whispering creepily into the microphone, "I need to get out... My family... They are waiting for me... My platoon... They should be back at the base... in these exact... coordinates..."
(Prisoner 4) Mimicking Prisoner 1's eerie whisper, "Riddle me this... A young woman is attending her mother's funeral. While there, she meets a man she has never seen before and falls in love immediately. After the funeral, she tries to find him but cannot. Several days later she kills her sister. Why does she kill her sister?" Pauses, waiting for an answer but proceeds to answer himself, "She killed her sister hoping to see this man at her sister's funeral. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
(Prisoner 2) Repeatedly bumping his head against the camera, stammering, "H-H-H-H-H-H-Hey... P-P-P-P-P-P-P-Please.... I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I need... O-O-O-O-O-O-Out... I-I-I-I-I- know... T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-Things..."
(Prisoner 3) Locking eyes with the camera, pleads, "Please, let me at least fuck one of ya'll. I can't handle it. These guys are fucking scary, especially that one." Points at Karito. "Please, get me a woman in here. I need to fuck something! PLEASE!"
(Karito) Viciously kicks Prisoner 3's head into the wall. "You disgusting fuck! Shut up! EVERYONE JUST SHUT UP!" He covers his head with a pillow, muttering, "Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!"
(Prisoner 3) "HAAAAA MY NOSE!"
(Scientist 1) Sighs "Get him to the med bay. Throw him back in once his nose is patched."
(Guards) On coms "We are opening the chamber to test the microphones; step away from the door and lie flat on the floor or you will be shot."
The guards, their faces concealed behind cold, emotionless masks, swiftly descended upon the experimental room. Their presence exuded an air of authority and ruthlessness as they approached Prisoner 3 with calculated precision. Grasping him firmly, they forcefully yanked him away from the others, dragging his trembling form into the dreaded medical room. Silence engulfed the remaining prisoners, their eyes fixated on the closed door, filled with a foreboding sense of dread.
Minutes stretched into an eternity, the weight of anticipation hanging heavily in the air. Finally, the door swung open with an unsettling creak, and Prisoner 3 was unceremoniously flung back into the room. His disheveled appearance and haunted expression painted a picture of unspeakable horrors inflicted upon him. His body trembled uncontrollably, a manifestation of the torment he had endured within those cold, sterile walls.
...
After the passage of nine torturous days, the unrelenting strain of the experiment began to corrode their sanity, leaving them teetering on the precipice of madness. It was then that the first prisoner succumbed to his fractured psyche, his anguished screams reverberating through the chamber like a dissonant symphony of torment. For hours on end, he sprinted frenziedly from one end of the chamber to the other, his vocal cords straining under the weight of his ceaseless outcry. But as time wore on, his screams transformed into feeble, pitiful squeaks, a testament to the damage he had wrought upon himself.
In the face of this horrifying spectacle, a chilling realization took hold—the other captives remained eerily unaffected, their demeanor unyielding in the face of such unrestrained anguish. Whispering persistently into the concealed microphones, they appeared impervious to the escalating chaos that unfolded before them. It was as if they had surrendered themselves to a realm of detached detachment, dissociated from the shrieks that pierced the air.
Yet, the unsettling tableau continued to unfold. The two prisoners who had thus far remained silent and non-screaming, seized upon an inexplicable impulse. With a peculiar calmness, they disassembled the books that had been their only source of solace, smearing the pages with their own excrement. Methodically, they adhered the defiled pages onto the one-way mirrored portholes, effectively obscuring the outside world from their desperate, vacant gazes.
In an unsettling twist, the cacophony of screams abruptly ceased, extinguished as swiftly as a flickering flame. The whispers that had persisted ceased as well, swallowed by an unnerving silence that pervaded the chamber. The captives, their minds ensnared in a labyrinth of terror, had collectively surrendered to a chilling resignation, their voices stifled by an unseen force that bound them to the suffocating darkness of their existence.
(Kartio) Emotionlessly looking at his other inmates
Karito's once vibrant eyes now bore the haunting emptiness of a soul consumed by despair. A mere observer of the macabre theater unfolding before him, he gazed upon the twisted actions of his fellow captives with a mix of repulsion and apathy. The flickering remnants of disgust within him were swiftly snuffed out, suffocated by the weight of their collective descent into madness. It seemed as though all semblance of humanity had been drained from his gaze, leaving behind a hollow vessel teetering on the precipice of darkness.
Within the confines of their shared prison, the air was punctuated by piercing screams that reverberated through the chamber. Karito would instinctively cover his ears, a feeble attempt to shield himself from the grisly spectacle unfolding before his eyes. His heart sank as he bore witness to the self-inflicted destruction of their own vocal cords, crimson streams of blood cascading from their mouths, painting a macabre tableau upon the cold, unforgiving floor. Yet, their relentless torment seemed impervious to the searing pain, their descent into madness an unstoppable force.
Meanwhile, the two remaining prisoners, devoid of reason or restraint, descended into an animalistic frenzy. Books, once a fragile sanctuary of knowledge, were reduced to crude instruments of degradation. Like savage primates, they flung the soiled pages with abandon, their vile actions defiling the very essence of their shared confinement. The cameras and microphones, once a conduit to the outside world, were now obscured, rendering the scientists blind and deaf to the horrors that unfolded within. The stench of filth permeated the air, a nauseating reminder of their debased existence.
As Karito bore witness to the unrelenting chaos, a transformation took hold within him. The ember of his uncontrollable rage waned, extinguished by an enigmatic force that seemed to toy with the fraying fabric of his sanity. Something unknown, something sinister, gripped his mind in an iron vice, tightening its hold with each passing moment. Unbeknownst to those around him, the slender thread of Karito's patience was stretched perilously thin, threatening to unravel and unleash a darkness that lay dormant within.
...
As three more harrowing days crawled by in agonizing torment, the researchers, consumed by a growing unease, meticulously checked the microphones with increasing frequency. Their disbelief mounted, for it seemed inconceivable that a chamber housing five individuals could remain enveloped in absolute silence. Yet, the cold, unyielding void persisted, mocking their desperate attempts to elicit even the faintest murmur. The very fabric of their reality teetered on the precipice of a disconcerting truth: all five captives remained alive, their existence confirmed by the ceaseless consumption of oxygen within the chamber.
Curiously, the oxygen levels mirrored those of individuals engaged in intense physical exertion—a revelation that sent chills coursing through the veins of the researchers. The captives, it seemed, were persisting at the brink of human endurance, their bodies locked in a relentless battle against the encroaching abyss. Each labored breath became a testament to their unwavering will to survive, defying the limits of what should have been possible.
It was on the 14th morning, a moment pregnant with apprehension, that the researchers succumbed to their mounting trepidation. An act of desperation compelled them to violate their own promises, their morals crumbling under the weight of their insatiable curiosity. The intercom, a conduit to the captives' frayed psyches, crackled to life within the claustrophobic confines of the chamber. In their desperate gamble to elicit any semblance of response, they sought to provoke a reaction from the captives they feared had metamorphosed into lifeless husks or, worse yet, devolved into mindless automatons.
(Scientist 1) "Did you hear that? Is the intercom functioning properly?"
(Scientist 2) "Yes, it's working. We should proceed cautiously. We don't know what state they're in."
(Scientist 3) "But we need answers. We can't just let them languish in there without any communication."
(Scientist 4) "Agreed, but remember the risks. We've pushed them to the edge of sanity. We can't predict how they'll react."
(Scientist 5) "We have a duty to understand the effects of prolonged sleep deprivation. We must proceed, even if it's unsettling."
(Scientist 1) "Alright, let's try again. Captives, can you hear us? Respond, please."
Silence permeates the control room, intensifying the mounting tension.
(Scientist 2) "Keep monitoring their vitals. Any signs of distress or irregularity, we halt immediately."
(Scientist 3) "Look, the oxygen levels are fluctuating. They must be reacting. But why won't they answer?"
(Scientist 4) "There's something deeply unsettling about this. I can't shake the feeling that we've crossed a line."
(Scientist 5) "We knew the risks when we embarked on this experiment. We have to continue. We must uncover the truth."
The scientists exchange uneasy glances, their resolve intermingled with growing unease.
(Scientist 1) "Last attempt. Captives, we implore you to respond. Your cooperation is crucial for the success of this study."
An eerie stillness hangs in the air, the weight of their words echoing through the control room.
(Scientist 2) "No response. They're defying our expectations at every turn."
(Scientist 3) "What have we done? Are they still human beings in there, or have we pushed them too far?"
(Scientist 4) "Send the Guards to verify them and to check on the microphones. We need those to be working if we want to hear them"
(Scientist 5) "I'll order them to check on the prisoners and the microphones." Coms "Guards, I need you all to check the prisoner's current state and also fix the microphones if there in stable condition."
(Guard) Coms "Yes, sir. Let's go boys. We gotta check on these lunatics." Coms "We are opening the chamber to test the microphones; step away from the door and lie flat on the floor or you will be shot."
(????) "We don't plan on escaping..." They never spoke again after that.
A fervent debate unfolded among the researchers and military officials funding the experiment, their voices resonating with anxiety and unease. The failure to elicit any response through the intercom had ignited a sense of urgency, prompting a fateful decision: the chamber would be unsealed at midnight on the fifteenth day.
As the clock struck twelve, the chamber was flooded with fresh air, displacing the stimulant gas that had fueled the harrowing ordeal. Instantly, a cacophony of desperate cries erupted from the microphones, reverberating through the cold, sterile room. Three distinct voices pleaded, their words laden with agony and despair, as if beseeching for the resurrection of their loved ones.
With trepidation, the chamber doors swung open, allowing a group of apprehensive soldiers to enter. The sight that awaited them defied all expectations, shattering their composure. The four remaining subjects, if they could still be called such, three of them emitted bloodcurdling screams that pierced the silence, intertwining with the soldiers' own horrified cries.
A chilling revelation unfolded before their eyes. The untouched rations beyond the fifth day stood as a haunting testament to the subjects' deteriorating condition. The drains clogged with chunks of human flesh meticulously stuffed by the deceased subject, hindered the expulsion of the accumulating water, transforming the chamber into a grotesque tableau. The exact composition of the water, whether it was a macabre blend of blood and liquid, remained a haunting mystery.
The surviving test subjects bore ghastly wounds, their bodies torn apart with savage intent. Muscles and skin had been ruthlessly torn away, exposing raw bone and sinew. The researchers' initial assumption that these injuries were inflicted by teeth was shattered upon closer examination. The intricate patterns and angles of the wounds revealed a harrowing truth: these were self-inflicted, acts of abominable self-mutilation.
In the realm of this grim chamber, the boundaries of sanity had disintegrated, and the remnants of humanity clung to the threads of a grotesque tapestry. The somber realization took hold that these tormented souls had been driven to the darkest recesses of their existence, bodies, and minds consumed by an incomprehensible malevolence.
(Karito) "...."
As the symphony of madness reverberated through the chamber, Karito stood as a disconcerting outlier amidst the maelstrom of deranged screams. While his fellow captives descended into the abyss of pure insanity, he remained an enigma, his expression devoid of the primal chaos that consumed them. Yet, his very being bore the unmistakable scars of a sinister dance between life and death.
Intricate wounds adorned Karito's flesh, each telling a cryptic tale of violence and self-infliction. Deep lacerations whispered of desperate battles fought against both inner demons and a tangible foe, their origins intertwined in a macabre tapestry. But it was the third prisoner, a vessel of insatiable sexual desires, who suffered the most grotesque fate, torn asunder and consumed by a ravenous madness.
Karito's behavior sent shivers down the spines of the researchers, for it bore an unsettling resemblance to the calculated machinations of a psychopathic mastermind. From the inception of this harrowing experiment, he harbored a venomous hostility towards prisoner 3, the flames of their discord fueling an unknown malevolence that now seeped through his very pores. The insidious gas that coursed through his veins had become the catalyst for his transformation, stripping away the remnants of his former self and unveiling an abyssal force that defied comprehension.
Once a man clinging tenaciously to life, driven by an innate sense of purpose, Karito now personified the embodiment of the experiment's darkest depths. His psyche twisted and contorted, had become a theater for the grotesque. The boundaries of his sanity blurred, and a sinister allure emanated from his very essence.
As the unsettling saga unfolded, the experiment's clandestine nature cast a pall over the realm of reason. Karito's metamorphosis, marked by fatal wounds both self-inflicted and inflicted upon others, defied explanation. It was as if he had become a harbinger of the unknown, an amalgamation of their grim surroundings and the untold secrets concealed within the gas itself.
In the face of this chilling metamorphosis, the man they once knew stood obscured by shadows, his identity fading into the depths of the experiment's malevolence. With each passing moment, Karito embraced an uncertain, foreboding destiny, his existence tethered to the unfathomable forces at play.
Within the dimly lit chamber, Karito loomed as an embodiment of darkness—a figure both haunting and alluring. The fine threads of his sanity had unraveled, leaving behind a twisted tapestry of malevolence and intrigue. His transformation, a haunting dance of chaos and calculated intent held the key to unlocking the enigma that bound them all.

The room stood as a grisly tableau of horror, a morbid theater where the macabre dance of destruction unfolded. The once-intact bodies of the four test subjects now bore the marks of a grotesque dissection, each abdomen stripped of its organs below the protective shelter of the ribcage. The heart, lungs, and diaphragm, cruelly exposed through the gaping ribcage, remained intact, a haunting reminder of the twisted artistry at play.
A grotesque tableau adorned the chamber floor, a chilling exhibition of disembodied organs and severed blood vessels, arranged meticulously around the tormented figures. The delicate network of life-sustaining vessels and intricate organs remained undisturbed, torn from their rightful place and carelessly discarded like discarded marionettes. The subjects, their bodies violated yet stubbornly clinging to life, became unwilling participants in a grotesque spectacle of their own making.
Their insatiable hunger had driven them to the depths of depravity, their very existence teetering on the precipice of madness. The digestive tracts, exposed for all to witness, churned with a perverse rhythm, betraying the ghastly truth of their sustenance. It became painfully clear that the sustenance they consumed was none other than their own flesh, methodically torn from their tortured bodies and devoured in a savage communion of self-cannibalism.
Within the chamber, a collective chorus of screams echoed through the air, a chorus laden with desperation and torment. The soldiers, once stalwart guardians of order, now hesitated in the face of this unspeakable horror. The majority, trained operatives of the Russian military, found their resolve tested as they grappled with the unimaginable sight before them. Many recoiled, refusing to return to the chamber, their instincts warning them against further engagement with these tormented souls.
The anguished cries continued to reverberate, a cacophony of voices that alternated between pleas and demands. They begged, their voices fraught with desperation, to be left in the chamber, to be consumed once more by the all-encompassing gas. Fearful of slumber's impending embrace, they sought refuge in the hellish embrace of wakefulness, their minds ravaged by the terror that awaited in the realm of dreams.
In the face of this harrowing tableau, darkness cast its shroud upon reason. The soldiers, torn between duty and self-preservation, grappled with the realization that the horrors they had unleashed defied comprehension. For within the depths of this chamber, an unspeakable truth unfolded—an unholy testament to the fragile nature of the human psyche and the abyssal depths to which it could descend.
And as the hours bled into eternity, the chamber stood as a monument to the perverse power that dwelled within the human spirit—a reminder of the haunting reality that lurked behind the veil of sanity.

In a chilling turn of events, the test subjects defied expectations, unleashing a primal ferocity as they resisted their removal from the chamber. The soldiers tasked with their extraction found themselves entangled in a harrowing battle for survival, as the subjects fought back with a savage determination that belied their ravaged state. Astonishment mingled with horror as the soldiers became victims themselves, their lives extinguished in the face of unimaginable brutality.
The echo of death resounded within the chamber, as the subjects tore through the ranks of their captors. The air hung heavy with the scent of violence and despair. One soldier met his demise, his life snuffed out by the visceral act of his throat being mercilessly ripped asunder. Another suffered a grim fate, enduring the agony of his testicles being torn from his body, his leg artery severed by the razor-edged teeth of a subject. The casualties mounted, and in the aftermath of the incident, five more soldiers succumbed to the darkness that had taken hold, succumbing to the weight of their own shattered psyches.
Amidst the chaotic struggle, one of the remaining subjects faced a tragic fate. In the frenzied clash, his spleen ruptured, unleashing a torrent of lifeblood that stained the sterile environment. The medical team, desperate to regain control, attempted to sedate him, only to encounter a chilling resistance. Despite receiving doses of a potent morphine derivative that would render any ordinary being motionless, he fought on with an indomitable spirit. His wrath knew no bounds as he turned his raw strength upon those who sought to subdue him, breaking the ribs and arm of a hapless doctor. Even as his life force waned, his heart continued to beat, defying the boundaries of existence itself. For two agonizing minutes, it stubbornly pulsed, defying the odds as the once-vital crimson essence was replaced by air within his ravaged vascular system. And in his final moments, his screams pierced the air, his limbs flailed in a frenetic dance of violence. The word "MORE" escaped his lips in a desperate plea, a haunting mantra that grew fainter with each repetition until it faded into an eerie silence.
The surviving trio of test subjects, their bodies ravaged yet their voices intact, were ensnared in restraints and transferred to a medical facility. Two of the voices, infused with primal urgency, persistently beseeched for the return of the gas, a twisted demand to remain in a state of wakefulness. Their pleas echoed through the sterile halls, a chilling reminder of the depths to which humanity could descend, their sanity unraveling in the face of the unimaginable.
(#$%**) "...See." He smiles devilishly
...
In the grim aftermath, the gravely injured among the remaining three subjects were escorted to the facility's sole surgical operating room, a place where their shattered bodies would face a futile attempt at restoration. As the medical team commenced their preparations, they encountered a disturbing revelation - one of the subjects displayed an eerie resistance to the sedative administered in an effort to prepare him for the impending surgery. Unyielding in his defiance, he thrashed against his restraints, defying the force exerted by a 200-pound soldier attempting to subdue him. A four-inch wide leather strap strained to its limit, bore the marks of his relentless struggle.
Amidst this relentless battle against the restraints, the air grew heavy with anticipation as the anesthetic gas was brought forth, a final attempt to lull him into a temporary surrender. With a surge of determination, he fought against the inevitable, tearing at his bonds with a strength uncharacteristic of his battered form. It required only a fraction more anesthetic than usual to finally subdue him, and as his eyelids fluttered and surrendered to the weight of unconsciousness, his heart faltered and ceased its rhythmic dance. The autopsy that followed, a grim dissection of his lifeless body, unveiled a macabre truth. Within his veins coursed blood bearing triple the normal levels of oxygen, a showcase of extraordinary physiology. His muscles, those still clinging to his skeletal frame, were marred by savage tears and his body bore the fractures of nine broken bones, remnants of a ferocious struggle against the encroaching forces of restraint. Each break was a testament to the sheer force exerted by his own muscles, in a desperate bid to resist the submission that awaited him.
In the sterile confines of that operating room, the boundaries of scientific understanding were shattered. A grotesque tableau of the extraordinary and the unknown unfolded, leaving the minds of the researchers teetering on the precipice of comprehension. The lingering question echoed through the recesses of their thoughts - what monstrous force had these subjects become, and what unfathomable power had transformed them into harbingers of terror and defiance?
(%%%%%) "You..."
...
Within the confines of the operating theater, an unsettling tableau unfolded, shrouded in darkness and desperation. The second survivor, his vocal cords shredded by the relentless force of his screams, existed in a realm of silent anguish. Devoid of the ability to voice his pleas or resist the impending surgery, his only means of communication was a frenzied shaking of his head, a vehement protest to the encroaching specter of anesthesia. A chilling consensus took hold among the onlookers, as they reluctantly entertained the notion of subjecting him to the unspeakable horrors of an unanesthetized operation.
In an eerie synchrony of wills, the survivor nodded his head affirmatively when the unthinkable proposal was presented. It was a gesture laced with resignation as if he had surrendered to the nightmarish ordeal that awaited him. The surgery commenced, a grueling six-hour symphony of mutilation and reconstruction, as his ravaged abdominal organs were delicately repositioned, concealed beneath the remnants of his violated flesh. Throughout the nightmarish procedure, the survivor remained a stoic embodiment of endurance, his expression an enigma of muted suffering. The surgeon, his voice trembling with uncertainty, whispered repeatedly that this patient should not possess the vitality to cling to life.
In the somber theater, an atmosphere rife with trepidation and concealed terror, a nurse observed a disconcerting dance between life and death. Whenever her gaze met the survivor's haunted eyes, an unsettling transformation occurred - a macabre smile etched across his disfigured countenance. It was a grotesque manifestation of something beyond comprehension, a sinister connection that transcended the boundaries of sanity.
As the culmination of the arduous surgery loomed, the survivor fixed his gaze upon the surgeon, his breath a strained symphony of wheezes, as if struggling to vocalize his thoughts. A sense of anticipation filled the air as if his message held the key to a sinister revelation. Eager to unveil this potential truth, the surgeon summoned a pen and pad, a conduit for the survivor's voice. With trembling hands, the message was transcribed, revealing a stark simplicity that sent a shiver down their collective spines. It read: "Keep cutting."
In that harrowing moment, the boundaries of ethical and moral restraint were shattered, as the survivor beckoned for a descent into an abyss of unending torment. It was a plea, tainted with a malevolence that defied comprehension. The veil of reason wavered, teetering on the precipice of insatiable darkness that lurked within the depths of the human psyche.
(???) "Y/N~."
...
Within the haunting confines of the operating theater, the final test subject awaited their gruesome fate, his body poised to undergo the macabre symphony of surgery. The veil of anesthesia was withheld from them as if a calculated decision had been made to immerse them in the depths of unmitigated suffering. However, to ensure compliance, they were injected with a potent paralytic agent, rendering them immobile, mere witnesses to their own torment.
As the surgeon embarked upon the harrowing procedure, an eerie soundtrack emerged, a chilling chorus that permeated the room—the manic laughter of the patient. Their deranged cacophony echoed through the sterile air, a perverse symphony that defied reason. Despite their inability to physically resist, their eyes, filled with a frenzied intensity, tracked the movements of the attending researchers. Bound by the shackles of their paralyzed bodies, they became captive spectators to their own grotesque transformation.
Time itself seemed to warp in the presence of this enigmatic subject, as the paralytic agent, inexplicably, dissipated within an astonishingly brief interval. Restraint transformed into futile resistance, as the subject strained against their bonds, driven by an insatiable compulsion to break free. The researchers, their minds gripped by an insidious blend of dread and curiosity, sought answers amidst this descent into abysmal madness. Queries spilled forth, desperate inquiries aimed at unraveling the motives behind the self-inflicted carnage, the ghastly disembowelment that had taken place before their very eyes. They implored, almost pleadingly, for the subjects to elucidate their desires, to shed light upon their inscrutable intentions.
Yet, only a single response pierced the suffocating silence, a chilling proclamation that reverberated through the room, inscribing its mark upon the souls of those who bore witness:
(???) "The end is coming..."
It was a phrase uttered with a blend of resignation and anticipation, a cryptic revelation that hinted at an impending cataclysm, the culmination of a harrowing journey into the abyss of human depravity. It seeped into the collective consciousness of the researchers, a stark reminder that the boundaries of understanding were mere illusions in the face of the unimaginable horrors that unfolded before them.

Within the cold confines of the chamber, the surviving subjects were once again imprisoned, their restraints fortified as if to contain the very essence of their torment. The researchers, burdened by the weight of their failures and besieged by the menacing specter of their military overseers, found themselves at a crossroads. The prospect of euthanizing the subjects loomed ominously, a whispered solution in the face of their unmet objectives. Yet, an ex-KGB commanding officer, driven by a perverse curiosity and a hunger for the unknown, perceived a twisted potential within these tormented souls. Against the fervent protests of the researchers, his desire prevailed.
As the chamber was prepared for their reentry, a sense of trepidation hung heavy in the air, mingling with the acrid scent of fear. The subjects, their bodies connected to monitors, their restraints padded for the prolonged ordeal that awaited them, displayed an unsettling response. The moment it was revealed that they would once again be exposed to the gas, the subject that struggled against their restraints ceased abruptly. It was a chilling sight, the culmination of their desperate fight to stay awake, to defy the impending descent into the abyss of unconsciousness.
Karito, a peculiar enigma within the confines of this dreadful experiment, possesses an unsettling nature that defies comprehension. His demeanor, akin to that of a master thespian, oscillates between bouts of madness and moments of startling lucidity, casting an eerie shadow upon his true essence. Alongside his surviving counterpart, the sole remnants of a desolate trial, Karito transcends the boundaries of human comprehension, embodying an otherworldly presence that defies explanation.
While he willingly partakes in the depraved acts perpetrated by his fellow prisoners, there exists a disquieting distinction that sets him apart. Beneath his facade lies a perilous and malevolent force, surpassing the darkness that permeates this desolate chamber. His involvement in the horrors that unfold appears calculated, meticulously orchestrated like a puppet master pulling invisible strings. Each occurrence is met with a subtle, diabolical smile etched upon his lips, an insidious affirmation that everything unfolds precisely according to his inscrutable plan.
In the realm of this macabre theater, where the boundaries of sanity dissolve and the most primal instincts run rampant, Karito stands as the embodiment of trepidation. His motivations, veiled in the enigmatic depths of his being, elude comprehension. Is he but a vessel for an otherworldly force, guiding the symphony of chaos that unravels? Or does he possess an innate darkness that transcends the grasp of mortal understanding?
In the grip of this unsettling darkness, the threads of this experiment intertwine, woven by a malevolence that knows no bounds. Karito, a figure of mystery and terror, weaves a tapestry of agony and despair, leaving all who bear witness to question the very fabric of their existence. As his subtle, wicked smile lingers in the shadows, one cannot help but wonder: What sinister machinations lie behind those hauntingly calm eyes?
One of the subjects, Karito, blessed with the power of speech, emitted a haunting, resonant hum that reverberated through the chamber, an auditory manifestation of the agony that permeated his being. The other, robbed of vocal expression, exerted his remaining strength to thrash his legs against the unyielding bonds, an act of defiance seeking solace in the rhythm of movement.
Among the researchers, an amalgamation of dread and curiosity gripped their souls as they observed the subject whose brainwaves had been meticulously recorded. Moments of normalcy intertwined with inexplicable flat lines as if the very essence of his consciousness teetered on the precipice of annihilation before returning to a semblance of stability. As their collective attention was drawn to the scrolling paper, a lone nurse bore witness to the convergence of fate. She watched in silent horror as his eyes surrendered to the weight of weariness, his head meeting the soft embrace of the pillow. In that fateful instant, his brainwaves cascaded into the realm of profound slumber, entwined with the final cessation of his heart's rhythm. The line etched upon the monitor remained unbroken, a stark testament to the simultaneous surrender of life and consciousness.
In a disquieting twist of fate, the lingering survivor, his sanity teetering on the precipice of madness, erupted into a frenzy of desperate pleas, beseeching to be sealed within the confines of their tortured prison once more. The telltale patterns of his brainwaves mirrored those of a life extinguished by the cruel embrace of slumber as if a dormant malevolence awaited its chance to fully awaken. As the chilling echoes of his screams reverberated through the chamber, a sinister decision materialized.
Against all reason and in defiance of the trembling hearts of those who bore witness, the commander's voice resounded with an unsettling authority, commanding the sealing of the chamber. With an air of resignation, both subjects, remnants of human form shrouded in a veil of unspeakable torment, were doomed to endure their living nightmare once more. And so, in a harrowing display of collective madness, the chamber's heavy doors closed, sealing their fate alongside three hapless researchers.
Yet, the ethereal grip of darkness had already taken hold, rendering morality and reason but fleeting specters in this realm of unyielding dread. A chilling dissonance ruptured the silence as one of the named researchers, his mind fractured under the weight of abhorrent revelation, defied the twisted chains that bound him. In a swift, calculated act of defiance, he brandished a cold, glinting firearm, its barrel poised to unleash a symphony of fatal crescendos.
Without hesitation, the commander, an emblem of authority, met his demise with unwavering finality, a bullet piercing the vulnerable space between his eyes.
(Scientist 1) The scientist's trembling hand clutched the gun, its cold metal offering little solace in the face of impending terror. The room, now deserted by his fleeing colleagues, bore witness to his descent into the abyss. His voice quivered with a mix of fear and defiance as he confronted the restrained figure on the bed. "W-What abomination are you?!" he demanded, his voice laced with desperation. "I refuse to be confined with you! Tell me, damn it!"
Karito smiles while looking at Y/N's camera from their device.
(̵͈̯̮͎̟̺̫̃͝͝Ķ̶̄̀̀̍̑̑à̴̺̳̤̰̌ŗ̶̬̈́i̴̺̱̭̊̑̌͐̐̎t̶͔̿̓́̓͑͝ō̸̳̦̈̈́̀) A macabre smile played upon the restrained subject's lips, his eyes gleaming with an unsettling intensity. His voice slithered through the air, a chilling serpent's whisper. "Have you truly forgotten so easily?" he taunted, relishing in the scientist's unraveling sanity. "We are the grotesque reflection of your very essence. We embody the primordial madness that pulsates within your collective unconscious, ceaselessly yearning for liberation. We dwell within the shadows of your deepest fears, the creatures you lock away in the recesses of your tortured minds."
The scientist's grip on the gun tightened, his knuckles turning white. The room seemed to close in, its walls seething with an ominous presence. The subject's words wormed their way into his consciousness, unraveling the fragile fabric of his sanity. It was a realization both terrifying and damning.
(Scientist 1) Trembling, his voice cracked with trepidation, "No... This cannot be. I refuse to acknowledge such monstrous kinship!"
(̵͈̯̮͎̟̺̫̃͝͝Ķ̶̄̀̀̍̑̑à̴̺̳̤̰̌ŗ̶̬̈́i̴̺̱̭̊̑̌͐̐̎t̶͔̿̓́̓͑͝ō̸̳̦̈̈́̀) The subject's malevolent smile widened, his voice dripping with sadistic glee. "Ah, denial, the last vestige of fragile sanity. Embrace the darkness, for you are but a vessel for the unfathomable horrors that reside within. We are the forbidden secrets you bury deep in the recesses of your soul, the nightmares that linger on the edges of your consciousness. Every night, as you seek refuge in the sanctity of your bed, we writhe and slither, yearning for release from the chains of your feeble control."
As Karito, the lone survivor of the harrowing experiment, broke free from his restraints, a suffocating sense of dread permeated the air. The scientist, his trembling hand clutching the gun, recoiled in terror as Karito advanced toward him with an eerie calmness. In a desperate bid to defend himself, the scientist pulled the trigger, unleashing a thunderous gunshot that pierced the room. But the bullet's impact merely nudged Karito, as if his corporeal form had become impervious to mortal harm.
Driven to the edge of his sanity, the scientist's panic intensified, his finger relentlessly squeezing the trigger until the gun's magazine was emptied. Each resounding shot echoed through the chamber, a futile attempt to halt the relentless march of the enigmatic subject. Yet, to the scientist's horror, Karito persisted, his broken and disfigured body defying the very laws of existence.
A sinister aura began to engulf Karito, a manifestation that defied the boundaries of human comprehension. Its tendrils snaked and coiled around him, distorting the fabric of reality itself. With each passing moment, the metamorphosis unfolded, unveiling a transformation that transcended the realms of light and plunged into the abyss of darkness.
The scientist, his face contorted with a mixture of terror and awe, realized with a sickening certainty that Karito was becoming the embodiment of the very abomination he had sworn to eradicate. The boundaries between savior and nemesis are blurred, shattered by the cruel irony of fate. As Karito embraced his monstrous destiny, the room plunged into a maddening darkness, forever tainted by the presence of the thing the scientist had unwittingly unleashed.
(10% Dark Karito ) "You know what to do."
As the sinister whispers of Karito's voice slithered into the scientist's mind, an unholy possession took hold of him, compelling him to dismantle the gun with meticulous precision, reducing it to a mere skeletal frame. His eyes glazed over with a malevolent fervor, he turned the weapon upon himself, thrusting it repeatedly into his vulnerable neck. The scientist's life force ebbed away, mingling with the pooling crimson beneath his convulsing body.
Karito's gaze descended upon the macabre scene, an expression of perverse delight etching itself upon his countenance. A chilling mirth emanated from his being, reverberating through the desolate chamber. With a command born of his dark essence, he had driven a man to self-annihilation, his presence alone wielding a power that shattered the fragile boundaries of sanity.
Yet, Karito's thirst for retribution remained insatiable. The lingering presence of those who had dared to flee from him beckoned, their fear and guilt palpable in the air. He navigated the labyrinthine corridors of the clandestine facility, each step resonating with an unhallowed purpose.
Confronted by a trembling guard, his resolve faltering before the embodiment of their worst nightmares, Karito acted with swift and calculated cruelty. Thrusting his hand deep into the hapless guard's gaping mouth, he yanked mercilessly, tearing forth the fleshy tether of his tongue. Agony consumed the guard, his anguished screams echoing through the corridors, a symphony of suffering orchestrated by Karito's malefic touch. The crescendo came as Karito's hand collided with the unyielding concrete wall, the impact shattering the guard's skull in a gruesome explosion of brain matter and gore.
A sanguinary smile stretched across Karito's visage, a testament to the malignant delight he derived from the unfolding horror. He understood that this twisted tale, forged in the depths of despair, would offer no respite. Within the confines of this accursed place, escape was an illusion, and death an inevitable fate. Each life extinguished, each soul ensnared in his vengeful grip, added another brushstroke to the mural of torment he meticulously painted.
(20% Dark Karito) "Haha..."
Karito pressed on, his steps unhurried and purposeful, leading him deeper into the labyrinthine corridors of the accursed facility. Every desperate attempt to escape was rendered futile, for the grip of despair tightened with each passing moment. The exit doors, once symbols of salvation, now taunted the wretched souls who dared to dream of liberation. They remained firmly shut, sealing their fate within this malevolent narrative.
Within the shadowed recesses of the facility, Karito became an instrument of psychological torment, his newfound powers weaving a web of dread and anguish. Whispers laced with madness dripped from his lips, insidiously burrowing into the minds of the surviving scientists. Helplessly ensnared in his nightmarish grasp, they succumbed to the unbearable weight of insanity, their only escape found in the cold embrace of self-inflicted demise.
The guards, valiant in their futile resistance, stood no chance against the inexorable force that Karito had become. The once-sterile hallway transformed into a grotesque tableau of carnage, as guts and blood painted the walls with macabre artistry. Karito reveled in the grisly tapestry, his laughter resonating through the air like a chorus of damned souls. Each drop of crimson served as a twisted tribute to the despair that fueled his insatiable hunger.
Yet, amidst the sea of victims, one man remained elusive—a tormentor who had scoffed at Karito's plight and relished in his suffering within the cold confines of the interrogation room. With chilling determination, Karito traced the man's path, his senses honed with predatory precision. There would be no hope, no sanctuary for this man in the tapestry of their intertwined destinies. Karito knew this, relishing the anticipation of the exquisite torment he would unleash upon the one who dared to mock his suffering.
In this dark tale, where hope had withered to naught and the narrative thread was spun from the fibers of anguish, Karito stood as the embodiment of their collective nightmare. The relentless pursuit of despair and the echoes of agonized screams propelled him forward, a sinister force that reveled in the symphony of broken souls.
(30% Dark Karito) "Hahahaha!"

Yuri Ivanov POV
Pain engulfs every fiber of my being, an unrelenting ache that matches the desolation around me. I struggle to comprehend the horror that has unfolded in the blink of an eye. The once pristine facility is now a macabre tableau of carnage, a grotesque tapestry of blood-soaked corridors and severed limbs. My former comrades, once vibrant and full of life, lie dismembered and strewn across the cold floor, their shattered bodies serving as grotesque adornments to this nightmarish scene.
Every inch of this place bears witness to the agony that has unfolded as if the very walls and floor have absorbed the essence of suffering. The crimson splatter, intermingled with fragments of shattered minds, adorns the surfaces in a twisted dance of terror. No longer does this facility resemble a haven of science and progress; it has transformed into a grotesque reflection of hell itself.
My mind teeters on the precipice of sanity, assaulted by the unrelenting onslaught of horrors I have witnessed. Vomiting becomes an involuntary response, a futile attempt to purge the torment that has seeped into my soul. Panic attacks strike me relentlessly, their frequency blending into an uncountable blur of terror. In this godforsaken place, I have become an inmate of my own shattered mind.
And it is all because of him—the monster that has unleashed this inferno upon us. The very same creature I forced into the depths of the experiment, mocking his existence without remorse. My arrogance and cruelty have birthed this ungodly retribution, as he revels in transforming this once sanctuary into his own personal domain of torment and despair.
The question haunts me with each agonized breath—could I have altered the course of events? If I had not subjected him to the experiment if I had not reveled in his suffering, would this nightmarish reality have been averted? Regret intertwines with the tendrils of fear, constricting my thoughts in an unyielding grip. Endless loops of overthinking consume me, offering no solace or answers in this wretched abyss.
Escape is an illusion, shattered by his omnipotent presence. The monster that now rules this realm will not allow my liberation, trapping me within the walls of this living nightmare. Fear courses through my veins, paralyzing me with its icy grip. Horrified whispers echo through the chambers of my mind, whispering that death may be the only respite from this unrelenting torment.
In the suffocating darkness, where hope dwindles to a mere flicker, the allure of self-annihilation tempts me with the promise of release. Is it possible that in death I may find refuge from the terrors that beset me? The notion claws at my fractured consciousness, a desperate plea for respite from the horrors that relentlessly pursue me.
But as I stand on the precipice, teetering between the abyss of existence and the allure of oblivion, a chilling truth pierces through the veil of despair. I realize that even in death, there is no escape from the clutches of his malevolence. The monster has transcended the confines of physicality, inscribing his legacy upon the very fabric of my consciousness. There is no easy way out, no refuge from the unyielding darkness that envelops me.
Fear lingers a constant companion in this descent into madness. The decision before me remains shrouded in uncertainty, for there are no guarantees, no certainties in this tortured realm. And so, I remain trapped in the suffocating grip of horror, grappling with the weight of my own choices and haunted by the harbingers of despair that loom at every turn.
My trembling hand reaches out, fingertips brushing against the cold steel of the gun that lies nearby. The instrument of my own liberation, or perhaps, my damnation. Its presence is both comforting and menacing, a tangible embodiment of the choices that lie before me.
As I contemplate the finality of my actions, the echoes of his malevolent laughter resonate within the recesses of my mind. I can almost hear his voice, taunting me with sadistic delight, reminding me that even in death, I shall remain his prisoner. The monster has stripped away my illusions of control, reducing me to a mere puppet in his twisted game.
But even amidst the suffocating tendrils of fear, a flicker of defiance ignites within my soul. If this is to be my end, then I shall face it on my own terms. I refuse to surrender to the tendrils of madness that threaten to consume me. The monster may revel in chaos and despair, but I will not grant him the satisfaction of my submission.
With a resolute breath, I grip the gun, its weight a reminder of the choices I must make. The metallic taste of desperation coats my tongue as I press the cold muzzle against my temple. In this singular moment, I am both the victim and the executioner, caught in the tangled web of my own creation.
A shiver runs down my spine, anticipation mingling with trepidation. The path I tread is paved with uncertainty, its outcome hidden within the shadows of this forsaken place. But as my finger tightens around the trigger, a surge of defiance courses through my veins. I refuse to become another casualty in his cruel symphony of suffering.
In the void of silence, punctuated only by the deafening beats of my own heart, I pull the trigger. The deafening explosion reverberates through the chamber, merging with the echoes of screams that still haunt these bloodstained walls. Darkness engulfs me as if the very fabric of existence recoils at the act of my defiance.
Yet, as consciousness fades into the abyss, a perverse realization dawns upon me. The monster's malevolent presence remains, undeterred by my final act of defiance. I have not escaped him, nor have I evaded his clutches. Instead, I have become one with the darkness that pervades this accursed place.
In death, I am but a vessel, a vessel for his insidious influence to continue its reign of terror. The monster, unbound by mortal constraints, continues his relentless pursuit, forever taunting those who dare cross his path. My sacrifice has served only to fuel his insatiable hunger, perpetuating the cycle of despair.
As my consciousness dissipates into oblivion, the last vestiges of my identity fade away. I become a mere footnote in the annals of his infernal narrative, forever lost in the tapestry of his malignant existence. The darkness prevails, unyielding and eternal, as the horrors of this forsaken place carry on, unfettered by the feeble resistance of mortals.
And so, in the depths of this abomination's dominion, my story concludes, swallowed by the relentless abyss. Despair reigns supreme, a testament to the indomitable darkness that dwells within us all.
(Yuri Ivanov) "There he is... that monster... he has now lost everything and now... it's born... The Devil himself is now born."

Hush now, my child, close your eyes,
Enter the realm where terror lies.
In the darkness, whispers creep,
Echoing the secrets, buried deep.
From the depths of that forsaken place,
A tale unfolds a cursed embrace.
The Russian Experiment, a haunting tale,
Where sanity and innocence would frail.
Karito, the survivor, his mind undone,
Twisted, and tortured, his essence overrun.
In those sterile walls, where dread did seep,
He wandered through horrors, his soul steeped.
A lullaby of madness, a sinister song,
His voice echoes, hauntingly long.
Screams and moans echo in the air,
A symphony of torment, beyond compare.
In the depths of his eyes, a vacant stare,
A reflection of the darkness, the despair.
His humanity lost, consumed by the night,
A monster born, from the experiment's blight.
Sleep now, my child, embrace the dread,
In the realm of Karito, where nightmares spread.
Whispers of the experiment, hauntingly near,
In your dreams, its legacy shall appear.
Tread carefully in the sleeper's domain,
For the echoes of suffering shall forever remain.
Karito, the embodiment of the tortured soul,
His monstrous presence, beyond control.
So close your eyes, surrender to the gloom,
In the Russian Sleep Experiment's sinister room.
Fear not, dear child, for the tale unfolds,
Karito's legacy, a nightmare that never wanes or fades.
(99% Dark Karito)
His skin had turned an ashen, sickly gray, contorting and distorting in ways that defied the natural anatomy. Jagged seams of flesh crisscrossed his body, like a macabre patchwork stitched together in haste.
His limbs had elongated, twisted into nightmarish proportions that conveyed an unsettling mimicry of human form. Fingers and joints had grown sinuously out of place, forming unnatural angles that betrayed the laws of physics. His eyes, once a window to his soul, now glowed with a ghastly luminescence, casting a sickly green light that seemed to emanate from the depths of his very being.
The tendrils of his hair had turned into tendrils of a vile, viscous substance that slithered and undulated as if they had a life of their own. His mouth, frozen in a grimace of eternal agony, had contorted into a gaping maw filled with rows of serrated teeth. Each breath he took seemed to echo with a discordant, metallic rasp, as if his very existence was now an instrument of dissonance.
In the darkness, his form stood as a twisted monument to the abhorrent, an embodiment of the very nightmares that lingered in the recesses of the human psyche. And as he stared at his distorted reflection, his eyes betraying a glimmer of recognition amidst the horror.
