“Will you fall hopelessly in love with me—or choose something else?” Control shifts constantly through a relationship built on hypnosis and obsession: she becomes captive to the trance, while I become captive to her.

What began as a pretend romance turns real, and the emotional twists leave us helplessly swept along. Maybe she has been controlling all of us from the beginning. There is no going back now.
