Experimental: AI-generated, based on the transcript.

The listener is taken through a distressing experience. They find themselves in a crowd waiting for something to happen on a stage. A controller steps onto the stage and begins a display involving a volunteer. The volunteer goes through intense pain and pleasure in front of the audience, while the listener feels empathy for their suffering. The listener eventually decides to intervene and goes behind the stage to help the volunteer. They confront the controller and agree to endure ten minutes of intense sensations in order to free the volunteer. The listener experiences pain, pleasure, numbness, and a piercing sound before the experience finally ends. Afterwards, the listener realizes that the volunteer did not leave and has been watching their ordeal. The listener is left with the distressing choice of whether to leave or stay. The file ends with the listener waking up, unsure of what they want next.
