This young man not only refused to release the hostages, but also forcibly extracted all their life savings, safe codes, and the darkest secrets they had ever known. And yet, that wasn't the end—he butchered every single one of them, one by one, with unimaginable cruelty.
What's more, he forced White Rose to kill people. If she refused to kill, he would kill her instead—or worse, torment her without end!
This left White Rose with no other choice but to take up a knife and kill those utterly powerless to resist her.
But even that wasn't the worst of his cruelty. The worst part was that he made them turn on each other in horrific acts of savagery.
At that moment, White Rose saw with stark clarity the horrifying depths of human nature. She saw that when confronted with the razor's edge between life and death, concepts like husband, wife, family—none of it mattered. To hell with it all. Survival was the only thing that mattered.
