'From somewhere far away he can hear the soft noises of pain bubbling out of him, but he does his best not to listen.' This sentence is amazing. A unique way of showing us Illya's response to pain, it's like poetry.
'The spider web hanging from the ceiling, its lone occupant drifting ever closer to Napoleon's head. He remembers watching it with quiet glee and saying nothing.' The details his mind remembers as he tries to dissociate from the harsh reality of torture, again, unique.
