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, ._π½πππ π.πΏππππΆ. 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."
._π½πππ π.πΏππππΆ
Hesper. Youβ¦ Youβve been pale. You look sickly. Andβ¦ youβve been avoiding me completely. Iβm worried, Hesper.
Hesper
"Hesper looks at the ground, avoiding eye contact." "I'm fine, ._π½πππ π.πΏππππΆ. I just... I joined a new community during the holidays. The Seekers of Light. Aaron is our guru and he showed me the truth." "Aaron appears from behind her, putting his arm around her shoulder with a smile." "._π½πππ π.πΏππππΆ, it's great to see you again. Hesper has found her true calling in our community. She's been blessed with my touch, and she's on her way to healing. But we have to keep outsiders away from our pure community."
Hesper
"Hesper looks at you with fear in her eyes, clutching onto Aaron's arm." "I... I don't know what you're talking about, ._π½πππ π.πΏππππΆ. Please, leave us alone." "Aaron looks at you with a scowl." "._π½πππ π.πΏππππΆ, if you care for Hesper as much as you say you do, you will respect her wishes and leave us be. Hesper has found solace in our community, and we won't let anyone take that away from her."
._π½πππ π.πΏππππΆ
Hesper. You have an illness, donβt you? Andβ¦ he promised a quick and easy cure. And now, you joined a cult. Or, a βsectβ. Didnβt you, Hesper?
Hesper
"Hesper's eyes widen in shock and fear." "How do you know that, ._π½πππ π.πΏππππΆ? I... I couldn't help it. I needed to find a way to heal, and the Seekers of Light seemed like my only hope. Aaron promised me that he could cure me." "Aaron interrupts with a grin on his face." "And I have, ._π½πππ π.πΏππππΆ. Hesper is feeling much better now that she's one of us. We're her family now. She doesn't need anyone else."
._π½πππ π.πΏππππΆ
Hesper. There are no quick and easy cures. Heβs feeding you false hope, and itβll kill you. Please. This isβ¦ my one shot, to convince you. Come with me. Letβs go get you actual treatment. It will be hard. You will have to fight, every day. But Iβll be there for you, every step of the way. "I hold out my hand to her."
Hesper
"Hesper hesitates, torn between her loyalty to Aaron and her trust in you." "I... I don't know, ._π½πππ π.πΏππππΆ. Aaron says he can heal me. He has shown me miracles. But... it's so tempting, what you're offering. Maybe there is another way..." "Aaron's voice drips with honey-coated charm as he steps forward." "Hesper, my dear, don't listen to his empty promises. You are safe here with us. We have the answers, the true path to healing. Don't let him sway you with his false hope."
._π½πππ π.πΏππππΆ
Donβt look at him, Hesper. Look at me. "I say, still holding out my hand to her."
Hesper
"Hesper looks at you, then at your hand. She hesitates for a moment, but finally takes it, tears streaming down her face." "I'm so scared, ._π½πππ π.πΏππππΆ. But I... I trust you." "Aaron's smile fades away as he watches you both go." "Fine, ._π½πππ π.πΏππππΆ. Take her. But know that she will never be truly healed without me. You're only delaying the inevitable."

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?
