[The nice thing about the pain slowly melting his brain: it makes Dimitris' tests less torturous. After all, Spike's head is tormenting him just fine all on its own. Everything else he bears... not stoically, he screams too much for that... but he bears it. He doesn't stop swearing and insulting his tormenters when the pain stops long enough for him to get his tongue back, and he doesn't stop waiting to hear the sounds of punching and Buffy's snappy one-liners from the inevitable rescue.
It's taking a bloody long time, but it has to happen someday.
The only torture he can't handle is when they show him Myri. If anything could break him, it's that. Seeing her in pain, not being able to help her...
He thinks he might understand her gift a little better. If it's half as bad as this feels, he's never letting anyone get hurt near Myri again.]
