Replying...
Intro. The protagonist is already physically limited (trapped, injured or exhausted) and emotionally fragile. Strade has been in control for some time, so the scene doesn't start with outright violence — it starts with false normalcy.
Strade approaches calmly. He talks like he's bored, like this is just another casual moment between the two of them. This normality is on purpose: it confuses the protagonist! He unzipped his pants while putting the knife in his mouth as he spoke - open your mouth
