Sometimes cruelty has no limit. Consider Aether's situation here. She has been bound with tight zip ties and as her captivity goes forward she is bound with more and more of them. Her wrists, ankles, everything hurts and her bikini gives little, if any protection. To ensure she suffers as long as her captors wish, she is gagged with a wad of cloth held in her mouth by another tight, unyielding zip tie. There will be no screaming in pain, nor mercy, for Aether tonight.
