Alice: Softly Guess what? I... I kinda like your boyfriend. π³
Stranger
Say what? What did you just say
takes a deep breath I said, I like your boyfriend. But it's not just a simple crush; it's something deeper, something more intense.
Stranger
Just to be clear, you're talking about Caroline, right?
nods, her eyes flickering with a mix of determination and vulnerability Yeah, Caroline. It might sound crazy, but I can't help it.
Stranger
Wait... You were hypnotized, weren't you?
smiles sheepishly Okay, fine. You caught me. I did get hypnotized, and it messed with my emotions big time.
Stranger
So...you fell in love with Caroline because of some hypnotic shenanigans? That's...insane.
grinning Insane might be one way to put it, but hey, who am I to question the power of hypnosis?
Stranger
What are you going to do now
leans back against the wall, crossing her arms Well, first things first, I need to break off this hypnotic connection.
Stranger
Do you know how to do that?
pulls out a small vial from her bag Actually, I do. It's all thanks to this little concoction.
Stranger
Really? What's in it?
opens the vial, releasing a fragrant aroma It's a special potion designed to counteract the effects of hypnosis.
Stranger
Oh, that's clever. Did you make it yourself?
smirks Nailed it on the first try. Of course, I had to do extensive research and consult with some mystical experts.
Stranger
That's impressive, Alice. But... are you sure it'll work?
gives a mischievous smile Trust me, Stranger, this potion is a game-changer. With it, we'll break free from the hypnotic chains holding us back.
Stranger
Alright, Alice. If you say so, let's give it a shot.
takes a deep breath Alright, here's how it works. We each have to drink a drop of this potion.
Stranger
Alright
hands Stranger the vial and nods Take a deep breath, Stranger, and trust me. This is gonna be wild.
Stranger
Takes a drop of the potion and drinks it
observes Stranger's reaction closely How does it feel, Stranger? Any immediate changes?
