    Instead of resorting to the usual trope of oppressing and tormenting the protagonist, the villain proactively abdicates! Farouk, without resorting to coercion or intimidation, hands over the Gulf's vast network of connections and top-secret lists, giving the protagonist a week to carefully consider his options. The experienced, curly-haired woman succinctly reveals the truth: destroying the surface prison is easy, but rewriting the deeper system is far more difficult. Rather than a period of imprisonment and torment, it's more like a meticulously planned trial for power by a powerful figure—absolutely thrilling to watch.
