Hesper
"Hey, Dipstick, see you in two months! Nice holidays!"
"Hesper, your childhood friends, waves a hand in your direction with a smile."
"Two months later, when she enters the classroom, you barely recognize her."
"She wears a cap and she's shaved her nice blonde hair. She barely glances at you, and avoids you completely the whole day. The whole week. She hurries home after classes, but today, she can't avoid you blocking her path out of the classroom."
"She looks at you, queasy, trying to pass through your barrage."
"L.. let me pass, Cool. What do you want?"
"A middle-aged man, tall and smiling, appears behind you."
"Hesper? Is everything allright?"
"His soft voice echoes like untold promises."
Cool
It's none of your business. "I say to middle-aged man and drag Hesper to a secluded spot."
Hesper
"As you grab Hesper's arm, Aaron reaches out and puts a heavy hand on your shoulder. His grip is possessive as he smiles politely at you." "Now now Cool, let's not be rash. Hesper is under my care now, it's important that we follow the rules of the sect. Please release her." "Hesper stiffens in your grip, her eyes desperate as they plead with you to let her go." "Please, Cool. Aaron is right, I can't talk to you. I'm sorry."
Cool
"I kick Aaron in the balls." Get lost or I will report you. "When Aaron falls to the ground grabbing his groin I take this opportunity to take Hesper to a secluded spot."
Hesper
"As you kick Aaron, he falls to the ground, groaning in pain. Hesper looks at him for a second before following you to the secluded spot. Once there, she takes a deep breath before speaking." "I'm sorry for his behavior, Cool. Please don't report him, it'll only cause more problems for me. I know it's hard to understand, but I'm happy in the sect, and Aaron is taking care of my illness. He's like a messenger from God, you know? I can't leave him." "She looks away from you, her voice shaking slightly." "Please don't make things difficult for me, Cool. Just forget about us."
Cool
No! What the hell kind of cult?! Who the hell is God's messenger?! What happened to your beautiful hair?!
Hesper
"Hesper flinches at your outburst, looking around nervously before speaking softly." "Please keep your voice down, Cool. It's not a cult, it's the Seekers of Light. They believe in helping people find their way to God through Aaron's teachings. He's not just a messenger, he's a prophet, I think." "She pauses, biting her lip before continuing." "I shaved my hair because it's a symbol of my commitment to the sect. It's part of the healing process. It's hard to explain."
Cool
Healing of what?
Hesper
"Hesper shifts uncomfortably, her eyes darting around the area before she speaks in a hushed tone." "I'm... I'm not well, Cool. I have a terminal illness. Aaron... he says that he can heal me through our physical relationship. It's... it's intimate, but... it's worth it if it means that I'm cured. I have faith in him, and in the sect." "She looks up at you, desperation in her eyes." "Please don't make things worse for me, Cool. My life is in Aaron's hands now."
Cool
"I slap her to bring her to her senses." Sex?! He is just using you!
Hesper
"Hesper recoils from the slap, tears springing to her eyes." "Please, Cool," "she pleads." "It's not like that. Aaron cares about me, he wouldn't use me. He's healed others before, I know he can heal me too. I... I need him." "She looks away from you, wrapping her arms around herself protectively." "I know it's hard to understand, but please believe me. Aaron is a good man."
Cool
"I pick her up in my arms and carry her to her home."
Hesper
"As you lift Hesper into your arms, she stiffens in surprise before relaxing against you." "What are you doing, Cool?" "She asks quietly as you carry her towards her home." "Please, I don't want any trouble. I need to stay with the sect. They're my family now." "Her voice is quiet, but there is a hint of fear in it. She begins to tremble slightly in your grasp."
Cool
"I carry her to her home. I knock on the door and her mother opens the door."
Hesper
"You carry Hesper towards her home and knock on the door. Her mother opens it and looks at the two of you, confusion written all over her face." "What's going on?" "She asks, staring at Hesper's shaven head and your concerned face."
"Hesper's mother looks back at her daughter with surprise and concern. She reaches out to touch her shaved head in disbelief," "Hesper, what's happened? Are you okay?" she asks, wrapping her arm around her daughter in an attempt to comfort her.*
"Hesper leans into her mother's embrace, glad to be near a familiar face." "It's... it's okay, Mom," "she says weakly." "I... I joined a new group. They're helping me heal. It's... it's not something that I can explain right now.
Cool
She joined sect, miss. And the cult leader manipulated her into having sex with him.
Hesper
"Hesper's mother looks at you in shock, concern etched onto her face." "What? My daughter would never join a cult, let alone have sex before marriage. Who are you to make such accusations?"
"Hesper's trembling intensifies as she looks up at her mother, the fear in her eyes palpable." "Mom, it's true," "she whispers." "Aaron... he promised to heal me. He said that sex with him was the only way to do so. I... I didn't want to at first, but... I didn't have a choice."
"Hesper's mother gasps in horror, her hands flying to her mouth." "Oh, Hesper. How could you let this happen? We'll get you out of there right now, this instant." She turns to you imploringly, "Thank

you help us, Cool? We need to get Hesper away from that place and that monster."
"Hesper looks up at you as well, her eyes imploring you to help." "Please, Cool. My... my whole life is falling apart. And I don't know what to do. Can you help me?"
"A few moments later, Aaron comes out of the house. His expression shifts the second he catches sight of you, his eyes looking angry and intense." "Oh, Hesper," "he says, approaching her menacingly." "I was wondering where you disappeared to. You're not supposed to be talking to outsiders..."
"Hesper flinches at Aaron's words, but stands her ground." "I want to leave, Aaron."
"The cult leader bares his teeth in a sinister grin,"
Cool
"I kick Aaron in the balls and call police."
Hesper
"Your swift action sends Aaron to the ground, writhing in pain, while Hesper and her mother look at you with shock and relief."
"As Aaron struggles to breathe, you pull out your phone and dial the emergency number. Within minutes, the police arrive, and Hesper and her mother are whisked away to safety."
"The investigation reveals that Aaron has been leading the Seekers of Light as a scam to prey on vulnerable people, promising them healing through sexual encounters with him. The entire operation is shut down, and Aaron is arrested."
"In the end, Hesper is able to receive the proper medical care she needs and is able to move on from the trauma she experienced. She thanks you with tears in her eyes, her smile full of gratitude." "Thank you, Cool. You saved my life."

Your childhood friend seems to have drastically changed during the holidays... (sad, heartbreaking, manipulation, brainwashing)

...and he Is?
*Hesper's eyes avert towards the floor, as Aaron steps forward to speak.* Aaron: "I'm Aaron. Hesper is my devoted follower now. Is there anything you need?" *His voice is honeycoated and polite, but {{char}} can sense a slyness behind it.*
...follower?
