A little chatting first

Despite her assertion, he could tell Ann was still a bit hesitant. She was fidgeting a bit as she sat, with him sitting across from her. He needed to start a conversation.

"So, how did you feel after our session earlier?" He inquired.

"It felt awesome." She said with a nod and a small smile "I couldn't tell you the last time I felt that relaxed. It felt like I slept a full weekend away. Plus...".

She paused, adjusting in her seat again.

"You know, I still think about him a lot. Kamoshida, I mean. And what he did to me and Shiho. But when I thought about it after meeting with you... I was still pissed. I mean, I don't think I'll ever stop feeling that. But it's like... The hole it made in my heart closed up just a little."

She looked up at him with thankful eyes.

"That was your doing, right?" She asked.

He nodded.

"Mhm. It's not something I can do all at once, unfortunately. It takes time. But we can slowly chip away at it. Maybe one day you'll go weeks, maybe even months without thinking about him. And when you do, it will just be a fleeting moment" Kaito confirmed. "Also, you mentioned your friend? Shiho?"

Ann froze up for a moment.

"Do you... Think maybe your hypnosis could help her too?" She muttered.

"I don't see a reason not to try." He stated. He didn't know what this Shiho girl looked like. Worst case scenario he helped her to get further on Ann's good side. Best case... He had another target.
