Mathan sank wearily intothe control room chair. Time is supposed to pass quickly when you are havingfun, but when you are a witness to hell, time moves at a crawl. He looked atthe live feed and watched seven souls that were slowly fading away.

The weeks since he had examined Min Yoongi and found him as healthy as one could be after enduring what he had, had become a trial of pain, fear, and the slow dissolving of what Mathan had known BTS to be.
Less than a week after Yoongi's return to the others, Jin had earned himself a broken finger when he had grabbed a guard who slapped Hoseok when the young man had been violently ill after eating.
In fact, all the members of BTS were eating less and less. So much so that his father had talked about force feeding them. Mathan himself had spoken to Namjoon one time when he had delivered cooking utensils to the boys, telling him that they needed to eat and keep their strength up. All he had gotten was a sneer and the other man spitting on the floor.
Next had been Jimin. Carl seemed to have it in for that young man, only Mathan couldn't tell if it was because he hated him or because he wanted him. Twice Mathan had seen his uncle push at the young man, taunting him. Carl shoved him, slapped him, attacked his body - his soul - his very manhood, giving Jimin no choice but to fight back. But when he did, all hell broke loose. The first time, Carl had thrown Jimin, infinitely smaller than his abuser, to the ground and drug him out of the room by his hair. Mathan had tried to intervene through his father, but had been told to leave it alone because the boys needed to learn some respect. The second time, Mathan hadn't even bothered to go through his father. He had gone into the room with the cooking utensils to find Carl pinning Jimin to the wall by his neck, choking him while two guards held off the other six. The look on Carl's face made Mathan sick to his stomach.

He had dropped thecontainer to the floor, grabbed Carl by the scruff of his neck and dragged himout of the room. The sight of Jimin curled up, coughing and crying inJungkook's arms was too much for Mathan. He made it clear to Carl that from nowon he was to keep his distance from all the members of BTS and stick to thecontrol room. He had even pulled off his mask in the hallway to make sure thatCarl could see the death on his face.
