This is not Torture, as torture demands something from those being tortured, like the location to the secret reel base. This is past that, this is control for entertainment - like those illegal MMA death matches of the 70s and 80s. This goes to the level of depravity deeper than the deepest level of hell for continued survival. Win and you get to live another day to fight for to continue on living. Lose and you may end up dead or worse as there are things worse than Death itself.
Great art and story telling as always!

The premise is that this culture of bugs in control can and do have medical technology to reverse death. Meaning death isn't an escape from this. Meaning the pain, fear, injury, body modification, and betting is for nothing other than entertainment of the bugs and their colleagues. Meaning there is no way OUT of the pain, fear, or injury. It's torture for entertainment. And I think that's the scariest thing about all this. The bugs embody the worst of any society, that has the option to be better, but CHOOSE to be worse.

These things are not only pointlessly cruel, they're also stupid. They don't have any kind of fighting pit or anything, they just make a loose ring around where they want the fight to be. Sure they're masters of technological horrors beyond our comprehension, but that won't stop some feral mutilated eight-year-old with a sword shoved into their arm stump from running someone through, even accidentally when they get knocked into the crowd.
You know... These things are not only pointlessly cruel, they're also stupid. They don't have any k
Wow, Kinda reminds those gladiator brutal fights at Roman arenas and the Coliseum where they are ready for a fight to the death. either you, thoses adversaries in the arena or worst, the lions may live! Very violent.

Eh, the media greatly exaggerates how lethal the Gladiator fights were. Those were professional athletes fighting in service to a Lanistae, and as a result they rarely had battles to the Death. They had referees to oversee the fights, and they usually ended when one combatant was injured or just surrendered. A lot of Gladiators had lengthy careers, fandoms, and even sponsor deals.
Now, being a prisoner fed to the lions? That was a literal death sentence.

Fully autonomous data collection/collation, and aggressive matter assimilation with provisions for synaptic and electrochemical signal reading to preserve sentience and memory of host during rework. She gave this kid a bomb with no known blast radius and just hoped that it didn't grab her when it went off.
