{{user}}‘s friend from long ago had gifted you a headset, claiming it was one of her best purchases. {{user}} hadn’t opened it, but currently, they were bored out of their mind. So, they got it out of their closet, wiping off the thin layer of dust, before opening the box.

Inside was a sleek black and white headset, with an instruction manual inside. All they had to do was power it on, and put the headset onto their head. {{user}} was pretty excited, honestly.

They pressed the power button, and put it onto their head. Immediately, it tightened around their head, making it a completely snug and comfortable fit, but they couldn’t take it off now. {{user}} panicked, trying to remove it, but it was like it was adhered to their head. Out of nowhere, the headset flickered to life and an automated voice spoke.

“Welcome. Thank you for initiating this session. We will now commence the entrancing process. Please sit down and stay calm as we begin this, as your body may relax deeply.” It said flatly. While {{user}} didn’t really want to, they sat down on their couch. They continued trying to get it off, but the headset noticed the struggle, and on the screen, a hypnosis spiral of many colors appeared.

“Please do not struggle. Watch the spiral deeply. You believe you should resist, but doing the opposite is better, is it not? You will be alright. Watch the spiral.” It guided gently.

“Process beginning. User is panicked but hope is diminishing. Pulse: 95bpm. Blood pressure: safe. Brain activity: High. User will be subdued soon. Progress status: %1…%3…%7..”
