In the first few weeks, the the Doctor has implanted a micro chip directly on Sora's brain so that they could be able to properly measure his brain activities accurately and few more along his body to work in tandem with the main chip in his brain, it should be known that this technology was not tested before used on Sora, but they weren't afraid that it will leave any long term damage on his body.
They have done every inhuman experiment on him they could think of, So far they realized, his regeneration abilities always puts him back to how he was before.
Truly a mad scientist's wet dream. Of course there some are psychological damage that are evident bit by bit. Life seems to fade out of Sora with every experiment conducted. Even though it appears so, the doctor couldn't care less. Of course they need the boy's soul to be healthy for the ritual to take place.
What they are doing here is considered training by them. Bridging both the land of the living and the dead takes a toll on a soul of the living, the dead don't feel much resistance because they are pass through in accordance to the nature of the world.
So a passage is opened for them to pass through to the other side with ease. A living soul is likened to a parasite, and can only be in the land of the dead for small window of time, like when humans sleep. It is thanks to the slumber of the ego that the soul finds it easy to slip to the other side till morning.
But what the organization is trying to do goes against those laws. They don't only plan to just bring a fully conscious soul that side, but to also use it as a temporary bridge for mother Gaya to use to mend herself with the other side. Allowing her to absorb the spiritual essence available in abundance then fully awaken.
Since the dawn of time and creation brought this world to being, it never stopped evolving, It gained sentience a millennia ago, from then started growing spiritual veins which will assist it on the next breakthrough to its next evolution.
So the soul could be said to be hammered under fire in order to withstand a tug of war between dimensions, with the soul used as rope in between the two. The chip in him had been working overtime sending accurate data which helped the experiment go smoothly. What the researchers didn't take to account was for the chip getting tethered together to the soul overtime becoming one with it.

As this was taking place Sora felt something tugging to his soul. The whole process was happening so slow and delicate, it felt as though a vast conscious has invaded his mind space and trying to assist him without hurting his soul. Before long an ethereal voice could be heard in his mind. " Hello Sora, I know you might not understand this, but I apologize for the events that has been taking place, This is something that has been destined for a long time, in due time you will understand. This is for the survival of this plane of existence. I know you are strong. You are my first Son after all. Please hold on, this will be over soon. Our connection is this shallow right now. This interface will be my way of helping you but I can't do more than... mor...." The message was cut of before it could continue. Sora could feel pain and guilt lased within that voice message. and it sounds like their connection might take time before it comes back. He felt the love from a mother mixed in that message but he knew this voice doesn't belong to his mother.
While contemplating what just happened Sora felt his soul become lighter and more robust. But that's all the effect could do. No matter how pristine and strong his soul gets, his mind was still scared. The pain was still there, the rage can never leave with a simple trick. A system huh, code name Gaya. Isn't that, the world we are living in. what did she say sorry. Is she responsible for my suffering?'
Like losing the last string of hope Sora fell deep in misery, He never believed in God or any higher power, but this past days he found himself wondering if such higher power exist. And if so, why would it allow such actions to take place. But upon discovering that not only does it exist but it might have a hand in what is happening to him he felt something break inside him.
Father forgive me for I am lost.
Mother Forgive me for I am Lost
The string of fate seem to have betrayed me
The home I know has become a stranger to me
Joy is the allure that is foreign
A mother's touch has put a scar on my heart
Who should I believe
If not myself
The world have forsaken me
So I forsake the work
Sora felt like a stranger in his home. Veins on his arm started popping out, fury was fully displayed in his eye. Before he knew it, His body was convulsing, muscles felt as though if chains breaking in him. Set to be liberated from the chains of this world.
Beeb! Beeb! Beeb!
"Sir... Sir! The readings, it appears that the boy has finally hit the ceiling on the first stage, just a little push and he should be ready!" A researcher came in a hurry to Dr Hoiriken. "Excellent, Prepare the alter it appears the long awaited day is nearing." Dr Hoiriken commanded. " Sir what do you think this will help to break the final ceiling in order for him to strengthen his spirit and Soul" asked the researcher. Dr Hoiriken contemplated for a moment and thought of all the experiments they performed on the boy for the last few weeks. Each of them was to break his body in order for it to reconstruct itself stronger than before, trying to break his spirit in order for it to restrengthen itself and finally it's time to break his very soul.
His body can now handle any additional spirit essence and a strengthened soul without falling in on itself. 'I wanted to capture his family and torture them in front of him but with the news of the boy already out, I can be sure that the family is protected in secret, so I guess I have to do the next best thing' with that thought, a devious plan planted itself in the mind of the doctor. " Well we should pull a rug on under him, and take away the last thing that is keeping him sane" and what would that be sir? Asked the researcher. " His family of course but killing them won't be possible right now so we will just make it as they have left this mortal plane"
"You mean fake their death? Sir won't the boy see it? Doctored footage can be easily seen by this new age kids so nothing could run past him" injected the Researcher.
"Well that may be true under normal circumstances. But I don't think the boy expect us to go easy on him, so far we have showed that we are willing to do anything and everything to him, so us doing this will be within his expectation and won't have the clear mind to inspect the footage"
Listening to the Doctor's plan the researchers couldn't help but feel a shiver running down their spine. They was he speaks of killing the family as if it's just a random day on the weekend. And with everything they have seen so far this past weeks, they knew that it is he is capable of committing such atrocities. He has nothing against the boy or have any history with him but he seems dedicated to put him under serious pain.
Jacob has been following along this journey since the boy was brought to the secret location. He thought he was wicked and heartless. But what he witnessed this past weeks had him asking himself if he was a good person with just different morals but soon he quickly scrapped that Idea. His adoptive father is just that cold. No emotion whatsoever could be seen on his face as he gut opened the boy as he screamed. Jacob even had a dedicated bucket with him at all times because he never thought he would puke as much as he did.
'Thank Heavens I'm not on the desk, I don't think I would have survived the first day much less weeks of such experience. I'm sorry kid sometimes a gift can be a burden I never thought I had it in me to feel sympathy for another person. Sad part is once we are done here the next phase is figuring out how your power works so that we can permanently off you' Jacob thought. But what he didn't know is that in his heightened state, his emotions carried his thoughts, Sora just so happens to be resonating with every emotions on the spectrum and it became easy for him so catch on the lingering emotions.
