Starting slow

Kaito knew from all his years of experience that hypnosis was, unfortunately, not all powerful. If he wanted to push the boundaries, he'd need multiple sessions with these people.

He knew that, in general, it was usually easier to get smarter people into deeper trances, but harder to get them to do things they didn't want to. Comparatively, it was harder to get less intelligent people into a trance, but easier to convince them to do things.

In Ann's case, it was pretty clear she wasn't the brightest bulb around. But, as a result, her trance was lighter. Given the premise that she was on a beach at the moment, it would be easy to convince her to do some beach related activities. But if he went too far, or pulled her out of the beach mindset, she might wake. He had to be careful here.

Plus, he would need to at least start working on her actual problems. If she didn't feel at least a little better after this session, she likely wouldn't return.

"Tell me, Ann. When was the last time you went to the beach?" He asked

"Hm... Went with friends... over summer..." She muttered.

"Oh? And how was that?"

"Fun... Played... Volleyball. Played in... the water... But... Really hot..."

He smirked. He could latch on to that part. He approached the door to his office and locked it.

"Ann. The beach you're on right now. Is it hot as well?" He asked.

"...mh... Mhm..." She nodded.

"And you're out there in your winter uniform? My my. How daring! I bet you're sweating up a storm!"

Ann immediately began to fidget in her seat.

"So... Hot..." She panted, sweat beginning to form on her forehead, as she sleepily tugged at her clothes.

"You have a swimsuit on under your clothes, obviously. Why don't you get out of that hot uniform? It's a strange thing to wear at the beach, after all."

He watched as Ann began to slowly undress, her relief obvious with each piece of her clothing that came off. Her black Shujin jacket, the zip up sweater she wore beneath it, both came off. Next were her shoes, followed by her red leggings. She was left in only a black t-shirt and Shujin black and red pattern skirt. The shirt came off next, the the skirt, leaving her in only matching pink bra and underwear, which she was convinced was her swimsuit.

"Very good, Ann. That feels better doesn't it?" He asked, his eyes glued to her ample tits.

"Yeah... Better..." She sighed with a smile.

"It's so nice out here on this beach, isn't it? You can just feel your worries drifting away with the waves. You don't need to think about... That gym teacher. What was his name? You can't even remember at the moment, can you? The calm, serene beach is just pulling that away. Pulling all of those problems away. You know that when you leave the beach, they'll come back. But for now? You can't even remember what he did. You can't remember his name, his face, nothing. That's so nice, isn't it?"

He could see Ann's body shift, as if a weight was literally lifted from her shoulders, allowing her to sink even more into the couch, relaxing even more.

"Good. Very good. So good, in fact, that you realize that even when you leave, while most of these memories will return, some will not. Some are gone, adrift at sea." He cooed.

This was perfect. When she woke, she would still remember Kamoshida, but she would feel, at least, a bit better about the whole thing. And that, he hoped, would keep her coming back.

But the question was... What to do now?
