David works at Stella’s cafe. Stella hypnotizes him each morning before the doors open, always making him completely forget that it happened, and he has no idea how extremely conditioned and easy to drop into trance he has become. One summer day, the cafe was almost empty when one of David’s friends, Victoria, popped in to say hello and get a cold drink. (When she realizes the two are friends, Stella can’t help showing off to Victoria using a few of the post-hypnotic commands she’s implanted in David’s mind)
