Ahora yo veía cómo le daban de golpes —no de tortas, Tupra todavía no lo había agredido ni una vez con sus manos directamente, ni siquiera con los guantes ya puestos, se le estaban mojando, a la basura irían— y estaba muy asustado y conmocionado, no sólo por desconocer hasta dónde le haría daño, si se convertiría del todo ante mi vista en Sir Death o en el Sargento Muerte o si se quedaría nada más en Sir Blow, no era poco, en el Caballero Golpe, o en Sir Wound, el Herida, o en Sir Thrashing—en todo caso ya era Sir Punishment, el Caballero Castigo—, ninguno era agradable de descubrir en un allegado, y lo era aún menos contemplar sus actos; sino porque la infinita costumbre de ver violencia en las pantallas, y de que cada puñetazo y cada patada en ellas suenen como truenos sin rayos o estallidos de dinamita o edificios al desplomarse, nos ha llevado a creer en un carácter algo venial de la violencia, cuando su naturaleza no es venial nunca, y asistir a ella en la realidad, percibir sus emanaciones de cerca, notarla físicamente, palpitante, al lado, oler el inmediato sudor de quien se agita y hace esfuerzo y de quien se encoge y tiene miedo, oír el crujido de un hueso al desencajarse y el chasquido de un pómulo roto y el jirón de la carne al rasgarse, ver trozos y desprendimientos y que nos salpique la sangre, todo eso no es que horrorice, es que pone malo a cualquiera, literalmente enfermo, excepto a los sádicos y a los habituados, a los que conviven con eso a diario o cada poco tiempo, y, claro está, a los encargados de ejercerla profesionalmente.
Now I was watching as he was being beaten — not slapped, Tupra had not once attacked him directly with his hands, not even now that he had his gloves on, they were getting wet, they would have to be thrown away - and I was very frightened and shaken, not only because I didn't know just how much harm Tupra was going to inflict on him - if he would be transformed before my eyes into Sir Death or if he would remain plain Sir Blow, which was quite enough, or Sir Wound or Sir Thrashing (he was, in any case, already Sir Punishment), it was unpleasant to discover any of these characters in someone who was a close acquaintance, and even more so to have to observe his actions - but also because the long habit of seeing violence on screen, and of hearing every punch and kick as if it were a thunderbolt without the lightning or a dynamite blast or a collapsing building, has led us to believe in a rather venial form of violence, when there is nothing venial about it at all, and seeing it for real, perceiving its emanations from close to, feeling it physically throbbing beside you, smelling the immediate sweat of the person getting angry and hitting out and of the person who shrinks back and is afraid, hearing the creak of a bone as it dislocates and the crunch of a broken cheekbone and the tearing of flesh, seeing fragments and slivers and getting spattered with blood, isn't just horrifying, it simply makes any normal person feel ill, physically sick, apart, that is, from sadists and those who are used to it, those who live with it every day or every so often, and, of course, those who make a profession of it.
