The Big Bad Report Siht has triumphed! All of Alice and Bob's family, friends, and pets are dead, they hate each other, Siht is poised to take over the world as unquestioned ruler and master...
Wait, why are Alice and Bob still approaching him? Shouldn't they be screaming and crying in despair?
By the time the Praetorian Guard pull Alice and Bob off Report, he's barely breathing, sobbing in pain, disfigured... sure, he has the entire world's resources to fix him, but he's traumatized and likely will be hurt for a very long time.
tl;dr: The Bad Guy Wins but gets all enjoyment of it sucked out by being given a massive, painful beatdown/murder/fate
