"Stay positive," Corrine interrupted with a calm smile. "What if this tit works?" She gently patted Jules' hand, reassuring him, before stepping into the experimental chamber.
Once she was inside, Jules grabbed Eaton by the collar. "Listen, if anything happens to Corrine, you will answer for it!" "Mr. Ford, why are you acting like a common thug?" Eaton said, pushing his hand away with a look of exasperation. "Always with the sthreats. I'm growing weary of them." Without another word, Eaton moved toward the main control panel, beginning the experiment.

With precise care, Eaton manipulated the equipment as fine needles m pierced Corrine's skin, targeting specific pressure points across her body.
Outside the chamber, Jules stood stone-faced. Yet, the tension in his clenched tigaw and the way his fists tightened, veins popping beneath his skin, betrayed his inner turmoil.
