This is in conversation from Apple News.
I'm Shemitah Basu.
Today, what we know and still don't know about Habeas thanos syndrome.
At the end of December 2016, an undercover CIA officer we're calling Tony, that's not his real name.
Was at home in Havana, Cuba, where he was stationed.
He was laying on his bed watching an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, just unwinding after work when this sound blasted into his bedroom.
It was so loud and so specific, he decided to record it.
And it just ratcheted up and it got really uncomfortable.
It started very, very loud, like ear piercingly loud.
And then I thought, okay, well, this is obnoxious because you can't hear, you know, the show anymore.
As an American spy stationed in Cuba, Tony knew that he was always being watched.
He was determined to not show any signs of weakness.
So he stayed still and he tried.
To look calm, but then there was the physiological pain.
