Yumika was chained against the wall, completely stripped naked in front of dozens of spectators, and desperately awaiting the worst. Amy, her long-time lover, several meters away, was a corpse because Yumika defied a corrupt government; her formerly-perfect dark-brown skin of her face was charred and melted, and unrecognizable, and most of her hair gone.

Yumika only had a few moments to mourn before a man emerged with a ladle filled with molten metal. A short, but loud, scream pierced the room when the metal hit Yumika's face; her skin, bones, and brain burst into flames. Her conscience quickly ended.
