In any city, in any country, go to any mental institution or halfway house you can get yourself to. As soon as you enter through the double doors, stop. Realize your intention of finding "The Holder of Masochism", then approach the front desk. Do not ask anything, and wait for her to look at you with a face bearing helpfulness and trust. As quickly as she looked at you, she will put her head down and continue with her work. Anything you say will be interrupted by her, so just make a quick gasp, and then she will say, "I know who you are looking for. I cannot help you."
Wait 5 seconds, then barge behind the table. You need to have an intention to do this though. Look for a large drawer on the top left of her desk. It is the confiscation drawer. Reach in and find a razor. Stand before the receptionist and make a semi-large cut on the top part of your forearm. Make any reaction you want, as long as you make the cut deep enough to gush blood. The receptionist will watch as you do so, observing as a child would their parents. She will then turn around, and grab a key off of the wall. There is a number is on the key. This will confuse you, as she offered you a key to a person you are willing to find. The key is rusty and chipped at the grip, while the others are polished and shine with pride. Head up the stairs and look for the room.
When you find the room, the door is already open. It is only cracked ajar, so simply step back and kick the door with all your might. The door should swing with force and power as the handle lodges into the weak and decrepit wall. All you will see is a man on a bed, shaking and convulsing violently. There are some things on the shelf beside him but pay no attention. The man will look very burnt from head to toe and possesses no eyes, nose, or ears. Even though he is missing these parts of his face, he can hear, smell, and especially, see you. The first glimpses he catches of you, he will stop shaking and lie calmly. You must walk up to him, kneel down, and look where his eyes should be yet actually are. Ask only one question: "Do they feed off our pain?"
Calmly, he will point to the shelf. On the shelf lay a propane torch, a pair of pliers, and a small piece of metal in the grasp of the pliers. If you had not read this, you would not know what to do and the man would strangle you, as your last dying vision is of what he used to look like. Take the propane torch, turn the knob, and light the piece of metal within the pliers until it is white-hot. The man will then turn over on his bed, revealing an ink template of what he wants you to burn onto his back. You must burn this all onto his back and miss nothing. If you stop burning, and you have missed a part, he will then turn the propane torch onto your face.
After you are finished, give him the tools and face your back to him. You will feel his hand move gently across your back and then feel your shirt burn away and turn to ashes. His hand will brush off the ashes and then proceed to burn into your back, from a template that suddenly and mysteriously appeared on your back the moment you entered the building. You can also make any reaction here you want, for it pleases and eradicates him. But do not jump away in pain or refuse to have him burn this demonic insignia on your back, or he will do it with a knife and cut you deeper than you would have ever imagined. Just let him finish, then stand up, blow him a kiss, and walk down to the front desk. From there, tell the receptionist that you want your razor back. She will hand it to you. Walk out of the building, noticing that your cut has been stitched up.
You will leave the mental institution or halfway house with a curse. All pain inflicted unto you is pleasurable and addictive.
The key and the razor are Object 1431 of 2538. The only way to remove the curse is to remove your heart and replace it with the key.
