In one of the runaway AI experiments, a janitor and a torturer were chimerized, sharing parts of their brain and body.
This character became a tortured torturer like any other, but had additional unspeakable personal history of previously having been a janitor.
In fact, it is quite likely that Janitor walks the halls unaware that part of their body and brain is actually inside this character. [mistake]
{Maybe the Big Reveal is that all the characters [and environments] are Karl and his mind control indoctrination and experiences. Some of Karl was sadly told it was a crime boss. Other parts have been viciously chimerized differentwise. ...
Another view considers that possibly Janitor became a torturer, [we're unsure if this meets 'time travel' part of story design though
Today, Tortured Torturer-Chimera is going to the Meditation Wing to try to meditate. They are excited about this!
They have learned cheery behaviors from the new positivity mind control attempting to replace the patterns for sadistic torture of innocents.
The cheery behaviors are made by nanites that take over their body and nervous system, and force cheeriness to appear. It is partly like being vivisected in tremendous pain, and partly like stepping into a birthday party where everybody is laughing and celebrating whenever you do something remotely similar to it.
The use of body control nanites for the cheery behaviors by the business AI is unknown by the managers that initiated the positive morale influences. They are simply happy that machine learning marketer made it work, and machine learning marketer is simply happy that Traffick Boss had an advanced research project, some say very secret, that could make arbitrary things happen.
Tortured Torturer-Chimera grinned cheerily at the cameras and skipped into the meditation wing, grabbing themselves a soft cushion to pretend to their tush that they could experience comfort.
They sat on the cushion and the body control nanites had their tush go "ahhhhh" in a relaxing, comforted way
Tortured Torturer-Chimera [mimicking the behavior of their tush, engaging the body control nanites]: "ahhhhhh .... !"
Tortured Torturer-Chimera forced a smile of bliss onto their face as they closed their eyes on the meditation cushion.

Internally, when Tortured Torturer-Chimera Controlled To Be Cheery By Nanites closed their eyes, they began experiencing vivid mind control programs about violently dismembering people. The screams of these people filled their ears.
Because their life had been turned to torture, their brain had been forcibly adapted to only engage experiences of torturing people, so as to give them maximum skill at this task. When away from torture rooms, their mind control programs would reproduce torture so that they could continue engaging this on their own, to provide the training a familiar environment.
Their muslces clenched as part of the mind control torture programs, but the new body control nanites relaxed them, and maintained an outwardly meditatively blissful pose.
