I reckon so.

Torture would be totally tolerable with anesthesia as well, though as we say, consent and intent are diametrically opposed.

Not so much fear, though there is an element of that in there. From my perspective, just not worth the trouble or the risk.

Yet here I sit, with all kinds of skills and supplies. I guess motivation is one of those have to have sort of things for survival as well. At least the experience has been entertaining. Sometimes people just get tired of putting forth the effort, of doing what has to be done all the time, and a break from the action starts looking like a reasonable concession. Of course, it helps knowing there's something waiting on the other side of the door.

Time to close the thread.
