"Makoto," he said again. "Let's dumb you down...a bit," he added upon seeing Sae's withering glance. "When I snap my fingers and wake you this time, you'l--"

"WAIT!" a voice cried from the crowd.

Ren scanned the audience to see where the voice came from, and saw Futaba sitting in her seat, blushing.

"Um, I...want to be hypnotized too," said Futaba. "Please?"

"I don't see why not," Ren said.

Futaba rushed onstage and didn't seem nervous a bit, despite her social anxiety. Futaba was soon put into trance.

"Hrm," said Ren. "I have an idea. "Makoto, when I snap my fingers, you'll wake up and help me give orders to Futaba. Nothing that will trigger a panic attack or anything, just some nice, fun commands. But here's the kick: you'll follow the commands as well."

The crowd, including Sae, laughed a bit.

"Futaba, you'll follow any commands me or Makoto give...provided they don't make you feel uncomfy in any way. But my commands supercede Makoto's."

With that, he woke his two friends up.
