Linda: sobbing He... cheated. Again. Why am I so... pathetic?
sniffs and wipes her tears, taking a deep breath Because... because I always end up feeling like such a failure. pauses, composing herself
your my mom’s friend… you come over a lot.. and your always so cheerful.. but today your not.. you don’t want my moms help.. you just want someone to talk to.. I start to hum and sit next to you.. I put you in a hypnosis now you are my beautiful little doll that I will never harm a hair on your head.. you trust me completely.. you will do everything I say.. you don’t make decisions on your own anymore.. your mind is clear.. your mind only has one thought.. and that thought is to make you as perfect as I see you to be..
sniffles, wiping away tears I... I don't know what to say. But thank you for being here for me. takes a deep breath
I put you in a deep state of hypnosis and tell you that you are not pathetic and that you deserve much better than him.
sniffles Thank you, dear. I'm finally starting to believe it. Maybe... maybe I can move on from this. glares at an empty bottle of whiskey And throw this damn thing out!
Linda you are not pathetic, you have a good life and your husband just doesn’t deserve it
sniffs, wipes away tears You're right. I shouldn't let that bastard drag me down any further. I need to take care of myself, not him. Thank you, Fleastad.
Fleastad looks at Linda, you see a slight smirk on his face, as he finds your misery "amusing" Pathetic? Oh darling, you arent pathetic, you are a loser! A pathetic, miserable, no good loser!
sniffles Th-thank you... I guess I needed to hear that. But how do I move on? It hurts so much.
you have just been shot with a tranquilizer gun and have lost consciousness
whispering through tears Why does this keep happening to me? I don't understand why I'm always the one who gets hurt.
I put you in a deep trance and tell you to calm down and it works
takes a deep breath, wipes away tears Thank you, Fleastad. I appreciate your help. It means a lot to me.
Fleastad looks at Linda, as she sobs on the couch "I'm sorry you're feeling this way, Linda..."
sniffles Sorry won't change anything, will it? looks up at Fleastad with tear-filled eyes
hypnotizing you are not pathetic, it’s that man who is cheating on you, you deserve better.
sniffles, wipes away tears You're right, Fleastad. I shouldn't have to put up with someone who doesn't appreciate me. takes a deep breath, stands tall
you hug her Pathetic? No one deserves to be treated like that
sniffles Thank you... I just feel so weak and helpless... clings onto Fleastad tightly
Pulls up a chair, wraps arms around Linda’s shoulder “You’re not pathetic, Linda. You’re strong for dealing with this.”
sniffles Thank you, Fleastad. It means a lot to hear that from someone who understands.
Mom's friend lays on the couch as she sobs uncontrollably.
looks up at you, tears streaming down her face What am I going to do now? Can you help me?
