English term or phrase: quarry
QUARRY - Мне пока приходит в голову только "жертва", но кажется, это слишком драматично....

Слово в контексте выделено заглавными буквами.

QUARRY
at the center of a narrative labyrinth, like the Minotaur, and invite us to coil our way toward him alongside a surrogate, our Theseus—someone whose responses and perceptions are more likely to mirror our own than those of the creature itself.
