Ever thought about hOw much pain you can actually feelΒΏ
And if the feeling of pain itself can kill you?
W e L L , the cult said they use young girls cuz they're the most responsive.
N o w , they cause as much pain as they could to them, absolutely nO sexual abuse, just pure pain.
The cult wanted to find out if a man could be "martyred."
Martyr means "witness" literally, meaning, feel an impOssibLe amount of pain that they die while they're alive and become witnesses to death or the afterlife even when they're actually alive.
It's an absolutely beautiful idea... I think so.
At the end, a girl does become a martyr. She had been skinned, and so died a little later. She had whispered what she saw to the head of the cult, and the head of the cult after hearing what the girl saw, kills herself.
We are open to assume what the martyr describes.
