“There was talk, the day they released me, of some new method they were going to use. To #extract information. I pray for the men who are still there.”

Would Florida ban #ThePriceOfTime, I wonder? Or #TheEveningLands or #TheTwisredGrain?
Quite possibly.
Sounds like The English Method (for humane interrogation).

Where was she? Not the room she'd been when last awake.
White flowers—lilies, had been set at the foot of her bed. *Peace* lilies.
A #place of *rest*…

“It’s... #delicious! How can I imagine it? Help me see what it looks like.”

An elaborate brass dial - like the giant Empathy dial in Sacha's mind palace.
“Go away. I don’t…I can’t, love. Please, get me out of here, and go away. Mills had it right. I’ve been… pretending. Lying. All my life.”
What might it be like to have real feelings, not just pale imitations like she had?

Grainy, dark image of the 'teacher' console in Milgram's notorious Obedience experiement, with the row of dozens of switches which determine the voltage of electric shocks delivered to the 'learner' when they fail to answer a question correctly.
The Professor showed her the #console in the ‘Teacher’ room, from where the shocks would be delivered. The scale, she noticed, included dramatic-looking labels like ‘severe pain’ and ‘risk of death’.

Herz straightened. “Gentlemen, we have been given a live #demonstration of the English Method. She’s a master. And all that after over a week with no sleep."
“Colonel?”
Herz’s face set.
“We gotta go Internal.”
