In the rewritten chapter 33, as soon as Veran has disarmed Link, she decides to Kick Them While They Are Down by slicing the tendons in one shoulder to render his arm useless, stabbing him in the gut and back, stabbing him in the thigh so deeply that her blade grates against the bone, and finally slicing out his right eye completely, all for the sole purpose of trying to break his spirit and make him scream. By the time she's finished, Link is literally puking blood and beggingher to stop.
What really makes this scene chilling is Veran's sadistic glee in doing so: the narration outright states that she's having the time of her life just tearing Link apart.
