[ They're led down to cells, and Spike would get his first glimpse at the other 'residents' here. He'd hear more than he sees: moans and crying and manic babbling in all kinds of languages. Shadow creatures of all types languish in cells, beaten, bloody, pale, skinny, or just twitching as the result of who knows what kind of horrible treatment.
They're separated here, taken away from each other - Myri back to her cell, Spike to his own. It's actually days before they see each other again. Dimitris has plenty of individual torments lined up for both of them. He still seeks to study Myri's empathic ability, and he has a particular interest in testing the limits of Spike's chip. Which... is going progressively more haywire by the day. Sometimes he'll be in pain for hours at a time, a mind-frying experience that leaves him forgetting what it felt like not to be.
Rarely, he'll bring one of them to observe the other being 'studied', as if as a reminder, which he's only happy to spell out: try anything, and the other suffers.
Time ceases to mean anything to either of them. Days, weeks, months? Who can say how long they've been here now, but one thing seems clear: there's no wait out. ]
