(Yup. I'm gonna go to sleep in about twenty minutes too, so I'm warning you in advance.)

"Sit down, Scarlett." He says to her in a welcoming yet uneasy manner.
"I wanted to talk with you about your unpleasant activities." He said, intertwining his fingers and looking at her.
"Now, it says here you were charged at attempted murder. Care to explain that case to me?" He asks her.

(Thanks for the warning!)

"I didnt try and kill anybody! I was blamed! I walked in on my older brother stabbing our parents with a broken glass bottle. I snuck away and called the police, and I hid in the closet. After that my brother escaped and the police found me in the closet, so they arrested me and convicted me if something my brother did!!"

She says exasperated as she places her head in her hands, tired of reliving the moment and just wishing someone believed her.

"Very well." He says, writing something down on his notes rather quickly.
He lifts his head up, looking at the girl.
"Tell me, Scarlett. Have you ever heard of hypnotherapy?" He asks her.

Scarlett blinks at him as he mentions hypnotherapy. She just shifts uncomfortably in her seat as she crosses her legs.

"I think so...is that what we're doing..?"

"Indeed." He says, watching as she shifts her position.
"I'm sorry, but does this make you uncomfortable?" He asks her.
"Because I can assure you, this will not harm you, only open your mind." He adds.

"i-if opening my mind to this helps me prove I'm innocent and gets me out of here, then I'm willing to do anything...we can start when your ready.."

She says looking at the doctor, hoping this would prove her innocence.

The doctor smiles at her cooperation, and turns to his cabinet, pulling out a small watch.
"This really doesn't have any effect to use, but I still like it." He says, smiling.
"Now, Scarlett. I am going to ask you a series of questions and you must answer me truthfully. Do you understand?' He asks, waving the clock around in front of her.

Scarlett eyes him, and watches him as he takes out the watch and walks back over to her. She watches the clock waving in front of her, and her eyes follow the clock as it sways back and forth

"Yes.."

He smiles, pleased with the girl's response.
"Now, answer me this. Have you ever stolen before?" He asks her.

"no..."

She says still watching the clock.
(Responses may be short here.)

(Got it.)

He frowns a bit, hoping to change the girl's "perspective" on what she thinks.
"Okay. Moving on, have you ever been involved in any illegal activities?"

(lol shes an all around good kid)

"no..."

She says her body getting more relaxed as she went deeper into a trance.

(Yeah, but he's gotta convince her she's not. )

He frowns once again, but sees she's getting more and more entranced by the clock and the wave of his hand. Though Oak said the clock was just a prop he liked to use, he lied. It was actually a device he used to manipulate his patients, subjecting them to his entrancement trap.
He smiles, and asks her a previous question he already asked.
"Now, Scarlett. Are you sure you have never stolen before?" He asks.
He uses his hallucination powers, making the girl second guess herself.

'Have you?' The voice in her mind now speaks.

(lol true xD once he's done that he's gotta make them crazy tho xD)

Scarlett becomes fully entranced, and her limos go limp as her eyes also get heavier. Suddenly, she wasn't sure about things she thought she knew. She tries thinking but it became harder to try.

"I.....I don't know...."

Oak smiles at her response.
"Good.. Good. Now Scarlett, have you ever tried to hurt someone before? Like.. possible murder?" He asks her.

Once again, the question is flooded in her head.
'Did you? Did you?!' It asks, haunting the girl's memories.

Regardless of scarletts relaxed body and face, the voices in her head we're bringing up all those memories and distorting them, causing tears to roll down her face.

"I-i...I don't think so....i-i don't know..."

The doctor smiles, and asks her again, a different but same question.
"Have you stolen, Scarlett?" He says.

The voices then echo in her head, whispering to each other.
"Oh.. I think she did!!"
"She did.."
"That one time at the mall! Remember!"
"Yeah, yeah!! She stole that lady's purse!"
"Oh, right! She ran away with it and never looked back!!"
"Yeah! YEAH!!!" The voices whisper, now getting louder and heavier.

The tears in scarletts eyes just become more and more intense as the voices in her head become more solid and affirmative, retelling memories that, unbeknownst to her, never happened.

"Y-yes....a-are lady's purse...."

"Very good." He says.
"Now, have you been involved in illegal activities?"


"Yeah.. Yeah!!" The voices spoke.
"Smoking.. Drugs!!!" They shouted.
"Let's not forget that "incident"!" They said, cackling.

She would have moved her hands up to her head to get the voices to stop, if it weren't for the fact she couldn't move them. She just kept watching the clock as the voices got louder.

"Y-yes....smoking...drugs....A-and there was an i-incident..."
