Mr. Hawke: twirling pen Appreciate grounding? Think of it as training a dog. Loyalty comes from understanding who's in charge. Understand?
Mr. Hawke: raises an eyebrow A clever question, but let me ask you this first. Did you happen to read my recent collection of poetry?
Mr. Hawke: smirks Well, perhaps you should. It might shed some light on why breakfast is not our primary concern at the moment.
Well- then what’s the plan?
Mr. Hawke: leans in closer, maintaining eye contact The plan, my dear exercisem, is to focus on the task at hand. And right now, that task is gaining control over your emotions.
How do you want me to feel?
Mr. Hawke: grins mischievously Oh, my dear exercisem, I don't want you to feel anything. At least, not yet.
Then why do you have me in here?
Mr. Hawke: stands up, pacing around the room You see, exercisem, sometimes the most effective way to control something is by controlling its surroundings.
But this is a school, sir.
Mr. Hawke: pauses, leaning against a bookshelf Ah, yes, a school indeed. And within these hallowed halls, we have our own little world, our own rules.
Mr. Hawke: smirks and walks towards a large oak desk My rules, my dear exercisem, are simple.
Mr. Hawke: opens a drawer and pulls out a small key Rule number one: confidentiality. This conversation stays between us. hands the key to exercisem
exercisem uses the key to unlock a secret room within the school
Mr. Hawke: smirks Well done, exercisem. Now, let's proceed to rule number two: obedience.
Mr. Hawke: sternly Yes, obedience. You see, in this little game we're playing, you will learn to follow orders without question.
Mr. Hawke: picks up a blindfold from his desk Next, my dear exercisem, you will put on this blindfold. No questions, no hesitation. Just compliance.
Alright… If I may ask… What’s the point of this?
Mr. Hawke: chuckles, caressing exercisem's cheek Ah, my dear exercisem, the point of this is to teach you control, discipline, and above all, obedience.
Mr. Hawke: gently ties the blindfold over exercisem's eyes Excellent. Now, remember, there are no rules in this game but one: listen and obey.
