As John and Quiet try to escape this twisted prison, the truth of Agent Stone's past is revealed.
Tropes
- Department of Major Vexation: Stone's base is a DMV where they torture people by forcing them to fill out huge stacks of paperwork, torture people, and even execute prisoners.
- Fake Ultimate Hero: Stone is respected by his men for the tales of defending his town from a pack of marauders. As it happens, these were actually neighbors desperate to get food and it was their insults that set Stone off to kill them all.
- From Nobody to Nightmare: It turns out "Agent" Stone was once just a small beat cop (who kept being mistaken for a mall cop) in Topeka when everything went nuts and built himself up into this ruthless ruler.
- Loud of War: They torture John and Quiet by playing "Barbie Girl" loudly and constantly.
- Pædo Hunt: Shepard is caught masturbating to a lolicon manga right before Quiet kills him.
- Spiteful Spit: While John is trying to talk down Agent Stone during the interrogation, Quiet derails his efforts by spitting into Stone's face.
- That Came Out Wrong: When John tries to argue to Quiet that his mouth has gotten him out of a lot of deadly situations, she interprets it the wrong way.Quiet: Ew.John: Not like that! I mean, that happened too.
- Torture Is Ineffective: Stone's men torture John and Quiet but never get the mapmaker's identity out of them.
- Water Torture: One of the torture methods Stone uses on John and Quiet is waterboarding.
