In this month's public release of my Hypnosis-themed visual novel Penlight the writing focus was on the Doll storyline that can occur during Sayori's route.
In the scene depicted here, Kyou proposes Sayori let her hair down a bit by allowing him to hypnotize her as practice for the stage show he's planning. Sayori's willing to encourage his positive development so she agrees in principle, but what exactly is he proposing they do? Turning her into a doll? That's a bit much, don't you think, Kyou?
Sayori whittles him down to some arm catalepsy instead and they get to it. Kyou brings out the penlight and takes her into trance with no trouble at all. Once she's under he gets to work, lifting her arm in the air and impressing on her that it's going to stay rigid and completely immovable no matter how hard she tries.
Sure enough, that seems to be the case when she awakens, to her initial surprise. Her reaction as you'd expect is to try to move her frozen arm only to find it completely unresponsive. Not even pushing it with her free hand seems to work. It's an odd feeling for Sayori, and not something she's entirely comfortable with...
I hope you enjoy this little preview~ The full scene is present in the game itself with additional images.
