Maintaining the Act

Maintaining the Act

Advaith sat in his room, his mind racing with thoughts of the bizarre scene he had witnessed. His friends, all of whom he had grown close to in a short amount of time, had suddenly changed into completely different people. It was as if they had been possessed or brainwashed.

Advaith's thoughts turned to Tiana, who had been acting strangely even before the others had changed. He had to save her, no matter what. But how?

He began to think back to the events of the evening, trying to piece together what had happened. The wine, the laughter, the sudden change in behavior... it all seemed so surreal.

As he thought, an idea began to form in Advaith's mind. He remembered a conversation he had with Lucas earlier, about a book Lucas had read on mind control and hypnosis.
