A character is whipped in front of an audience - one that is not just watching, but actively participating.
The whip is passed around the crowd. letting each and every spectator have a turn. They are cruel, treating it as a game and trying to outdo each other - who can hit the hardest? Who can make their victim scream the loudest? Who will be the first to tear their back open, to draw blood?
The victim screams, cries, begs their tormentors to stop - but is powerless as the crowd watches and laughs, cheering each other on, delighting in their pain and humiliation.
