Vivian was immersed in endless agony. Intense stimulation shattered her dreams, whether pleasant or nightmares, they no longer appeared. She could only endure an unforgettable torment between sleep and wakefulness. In this torment, time seemed to have lost its meaning, and she had no idea how long she had been suffering. It felt like it had only been a few seconds, but also as if a millennium had passed. This confusion of time plunged her into despair, and even if she knew how long the pain would last, it would serve no purpose, because this prolonged torment might have only been a second's time.
