Demonic possession, torture

a character is in the presence of a demon who repeatedly touches and seems to play with his soul. extended conversations about being possessed by that demon and discussion of violent actions (shredding someone's soul) that could remove someone's ability to move on to an afterlife. Additionally, one character is at risk of undergoing an exorcism that consists of being repeatedly drowned in hopes that their death would chase the demon out, but be brief and controlled enough to be resuscitated afterwards.
