@Hykaon they looks like they are getting stronger due to hunger and when they show result, they will be given food, but right after they get the mask lock back on, it is a slow Stockhold Syndrome kind of Brainwashing
showing that if they get stronger and show result, they will get rewards like being able to speak, drink and eat, forgetting that those are they have the right to speak, eat and drink...that's the cruelest part, they turn those into "rewards", that will slowly take away their humanity
