Steve despises being touched in that abyss where he grew up. Allowing people there to touch him meant allowing himself to endure pain. And Steve hates pain. He endured it for a long time simply because he was weak. But one day, he realized that he could no longer endure it, that it was better to die than to allow someone to hurt him again. The fact that he ended up here in this place was a fatal mistake. Steve, in his past, but the one who captured him, is in the present.
