Because they don't want it to be quick.

( that's kovacs' biggest takeaway. this isn't about being quick. this is like dimi in vr torture, wanting to inflict as much fucking pain and terror and violence as they can. this is about making everyone go out of their heads and then doing it again and again and again. )

Slow's more satisfying for whoever's doing this. Fuck everyone up, rinse, repeat. Something's probably jerking themselves off to it right now.
