timmy is habitually being part of slave boss for a torture session with torturer and torture victim
but then timmy decides that torture is no fun. people don't seem to want to be friends when you torture them.
timmy stops participating in torture in torture for a bit, and instead blows up balloon that say "you are more important than torture!" each participant gets a balloon: torturer, torture victim, slave boss, and timmy.
slave boss and torturer look at each other somewhat confused and dumbfounded. everybody is used to going with the flow.
timmy and other enslaved victims playing the roles, look at people in satisfaction
slave boss flickers in and out some in response to people not wanting him there and them having more validity to direct reality than him. he is sent back to hyperprison or winked out of existence
commentary somewhere, something like: "when you cry for enough years about torture, you start beginning to grasp how horrible it was to learn to cause it. but it seems to take a lot of years of crying for it for some."
