The fate of Kemuel 26

You hear the voices from the living room. David and Viktor talking while they have dinner.

"Man, when I went to see her, she was covered in piss," says David.

Viktor laughs. "Seriously?"

"Yes. Those kids you sent her made her drink their piss. All three of them."

There's a moment of silence.

"What did she do?" Viktor asks.

"Apparently, she resisted at first. But they threatened to call you. They told her that if she didn't obey, you would punish her, and being like that, she couldn't avoid it."

Viktor lets out a laugh. "Those kids are clever."

"Yes. And she swallowed it all. Her mouth, face, hair, everything was soaked in piss when I arrived."

Another silence.

"You know what, David?" Viktor speaks more quietly, but you can still hear him from the bedroom. "I think we should take advantage of her being like this."

"What do you mean?"

"She can't move. She can't talk. She can't resist. It's the perfect moment to... you know. Teach her things she would never accept normally."

David laughs. "Things like drinking piss?"

"Exactly. And other things. Get her body used to it. Her mind. So that when she regains movement and voice, she'll be so conditioned that she won't dare refuse."

"I like the way you think."

"Tomorrow we start. And the next few days too. Until her body gets completely used to it."

"How much time does she have left like this?"

"Álvaro told me it's between three to five more days. Depending on how her body reacts."

"Perfect. Plenty of time."

They both laugh.

Your heart accelerates. You try to process what you just heard.

They're going to take advantage of your state to condition you. To force you to do things you would never accept.

And you can't do anything to stop it.

The voices continue.

"What do you have in mind exactly?" David asks.

"Well, you saw how those kids made her drink piss. We can start with that. Tomorrow, every time we need to pee, we'll use her. Without asking. Without giving her a choice."

"I like it."

"And then there are other things. We can teach her to obey commands while she's like this. When she regains her voice, she'll be so conditioned that she'll obey automatically."

"What kind of commands?"

"Anything. Positions. Acts. Whatever we want. If we repeat it enough times while she's paralyzed, her brain will associate it. And when she can move again, her body will obey by inertia."

David whistles. "Damn, Viktor. You're a bloody genius."

"I know. And the best part is that she's listening to us right now."

Your breathing accelerates.

"Do you think she can hear us?"

"Definitely. Álvaro confirmed that the compound only affects movement and voice. Her hearing is perfect. And her mind too."

"So she knows ...
