Michael returns to the lounge holding two cups of tea. Yuna was still sitting on the settee as Michael handed her tea.

 

Yuna: Thank you.

 

Michael: I will do one without sugar if you don't like it.

 

Yuna: That's okay; you don't have to push yourself out for me.

 

Yuna takes a sip from her tea. She closes her eyes for a few seconds before opening, she smiles at Michael.

 

Yuna: This is OK; do you do this all the time?

 

Michael: Yes, though I don't want to do it all the time, I usually make one for guests. Shows some of my skills.

 

Yuna: Well, you are talented

 

Yuna giggles as she finishes her flirting. Michael blushes before both of them continue drinking their tea. After they had there tea Michael picked the cups up and put them back in the kitchen. He returns to the lounge and sits by Yuna.

 

Yuna: Michael, um… I need to ask you to do something for me.

 

Michael: What's that?

 

Yuna: Well um… I would like to talk about you past and…. I'm afraid you won't tell the truth.

 

Michael: You could read my mind.

 

Yuna: I know but I prefer if you speak about it.

 

Michael: Then you match it with what you read.

 

Yuna: Yes but even then you will select what you want me to hear.

 

Michael: You mean you can't trust me.

 

Yuna: No Michael, I don't mean that…

 

Yuna lowers her head.

Yuna: …It's just… I need to see and hear what has made you unhappy & lonely, but you maybe still afraid to tell me what's wrong.

 

Michael: Why?

 

Yuna raises her head and looks at Michael

 

Yuna: Well, my appearance was sudden, and we haven't had time to really get to know each other. Yet, if I don't find out now, I won't know how to treat your problems. I don't want to guess Mike.

 

Michael: So what do you propose?

 

Yuna: I suggest I hypnotize you, and get you to recall your past. Don't worry; I won't subject you to any harm. I will try and treat the problems in your mind as well.

 

Michael: OK but… I would like to remember what you have done

 

Yuna: OK then, I will let you remember, after all you wanted to be hypnotized by a beautiful woman…

 

She smiles for a bit.

 

Yuna: … I just want to make sure I can do it in the future; so I will make you more vulnerable to my hypnosis as well, OK?

 

Michael: OK, I will let you.

 

Yuna: Thank you, please lie yourself on the settee and we will begin.

 

Yuna stands up as Michael puts a cushion on one of the ends of the settee and lies himself down on it. Yuna takes off her necklace.

 

Yuna: I just want you to relax, let your body be unstrained, and look slightly up.

 

Michael makes sure he isn't clenching or moving and moves his head up a bit. Yuna shows her necklace at Michael so it is between his eyes.

 

Yuna: Look deeply at my necklace.

 

Michael keeps his eyes on the necklace.

 

Yuna: That's it, just think only about the necklace and listen only to my soothing voice.

 

Michael was now focusing everything on the necklace.

 

Yuna: Your head is now getting very heavy.

 

Michael's head was starting to push into the cushion behind him

 

Yuna: Your eyelids are now getting very heavy.

 

Michael's eyes are starting to become heavy.

 

Yuna: You are getting very tired.

 

Michael's eyes are now closed.

 

Yuna: You are falling into a deep, deep sleep.

 

Michael is now hypnotized. Yuna puts her necklace back on and checks if he has been hypnotized by moving his right hand up. It falls back onto the settee.

 

Yuna: Can you hear Michael?

 

Michael (monotone): Yes

 

Yuna: I want you to tell me your first…

 

Already Yuna feels that this may be unwise, but she knows she has to find out.

 

Yuna:… bad thought.

 

Michael (monotone): I was 5 when my parents split up.

 

Yuna: Why?

 

Michael (monotone): My father, he thought he owned nearly everything our family has, our house, our items, even me and my brother. He had an argument with my mother.

 

Yuna: Who are their names?

 

Michael (monotone): My father's name is Jones, my mother is Jane and my brother is Steve.

 

Yuna: What happened with your father?

 

Michael (monotone): He shouted at my mother so much, he even tried to break down the door once. His final insult was to evict us from our house. We moved here when I was 9.

 

Yuna: Did you see your father again?

 

Michael (monotone): Only a few times but he has become so obese and scruffy that he is barley recognizable from the father I knew.

 

Yuna knew that Michael was rough but she can visually picture his father now. Did Jones abuse Jane? But then why does Michael dislike Jane? She had to continue.

 

Yuna: Michael, I want you to remember something else. What happened at primary school?

 

Michael (monotone): Primary… I came into education one year later than starting age, but I learnt quickly. I made friends, I enjoyed playing on the computers, It became first priority to get on a computer, playing with other toys was secondary, but… upon year 3, things changed quickly.

 

Yuna: How?

 

Michael (monotone): I started to get bullied. I don't know why or how, but every day I got bullied.

 

Yuna: How by?

 

Michael (monotone): I got name called, pushed, blocked. I even had my books deliberately located to back of the pile or stolen.

 

Yuna: What did you do?

 

Michael (monotone): I attacked at them, punching them and tried to stop them. But they didn't stop.

 

Yuna: Did the teachers stop them?

 

Michael (monotone): No, they blamed me for bulling them, I even got dentition. They never helped me. They thought the bullies were the victims and I was the bully.

 

Yuna: You had friends, did they help you?

 

Michael (monotone): I did, but they stayed out of the bulling. Some bullies even tried to become my friends to betray me later.

 

Yuna (thinks): This is terrible; his friends didn't stand up for him. And all this time he kept being falsely accused. I need to know the school where it happened. But not now, I have to focus on piecing Michael's past. Our friendship depends on it.
