The masked man slowly scrawled on the wall, stopping occasionally to gather more of Jason's blood. When he finished, it looked like a seemingly random assortment of letters: LFMMZ RVJOMPO.

The torturer cocked his head, like he couldn't understand what Jason had said...but from the tone, he managed to pick up the meaning.
