A man keeps his girlfriend tied up in his small apartment and tortures her. She is undressed, subjected to various types of bondage, whipped, and tortured with a razor blade. He also brushes her hair, applies make-up on her, and breaks down and cries in the fetal position. In the end the girl gets free and has her revenge.

gollark: I'd like to replace it, but obviously now isn't really a great time for that, and there... aren't really any good replacements.
gollark: I'm using some random cheap phone from about two and a half years back, and it's held up well apart from the touchscreen not responding half the time now and also the battery being fried.
gollark: Android won't even let you stick anything but some apps' data and random files on SD cards. It is very irritating.
gollark: What happened to just being able to buy µSD cards instead of overpaying for internal storage‽
gollark: The upcoming iPhone 13: is actually named the iPhone XRsMV Max++ 1000, is a 5mm thick aluminium block with screens on both sides, costs $5000, will immediately break if it is dropped, hit hard, or held wrong.
