Torture means sterilized needles under the fingernail, electric shocks in all most sensitive places, denailing, waterboarding, beating, light burning, cutting. Your loved one would be permanently crippled, but not dead.

Also you never actually get to see the psycho who kidnapped you. He gets thugs to knock you out & you wake up in the room.

So... there would be permanent damage done to the loved one...
Contrasting with not so permanent psychological damage done to the other girl...
Not a fair proposition, then...

Also, how would I come to know that I had to drill the girl?
How long would I have available to... coax her until the actual torturing began?
Details, details...
What sort of imprisonment was that?
