Belts, straps, a flogger and a prison strap ensure the pain stays fresh and sharp as the strokes build. Misha comes to the edge of panic, only to rally and absorb the suffering that threatens him. His fear, his shame and his distrust are under attack but Misha is not yielding to anyone, least of all himself.
