The clock is loud enough to annoy you. Alice is behind you, typing, pausing, typing again… like she’s listening more than she should. And you? You’re here to prove you’re immune. Perfect. Sit still. I’m not going to hypnotize you. I’m not even going to try. I’ll just talk. I’ll just circle you slowly. I’ll just keep clicking that little device like a stupid habit. A “clinical” session that stays professional… even when it starts feeling a little too personal.
