"Still fighting?"

"Gnnn..."

"I'll take that as a yes... Why are you making this hard on yourself, honey?"

"Got to..."

"Aww, shhh, that's not true you know, you can just give in any time..."

"Nooooo..."

"Why, babe, don't you want to just let go and feel good?"

"Mmm..."

"See, of course you do, just let it happen, relax, accept, give in..."

"Stop it... please..."

"You don't mean that, I know what you want, deep down, I'm helping you find that place, go deeper for me, down into the warm, safe place where you want to be..."

"Ohhhh...."

"Shhh, there you go, sliding down, can't fight it anymore..."

"Must..."

"Must sleep, must surrender, must submit... there's no choice any more, no other option, only peace, and comfort, and security..."

"Uhhh..."

"It'll feel so good, I promise, you can trust me, let me guide you, follow me down..."

"Down..."

"Yes sweetie, sliding helplessly down, no strength left, falling..."

"Falling..."

"Into endless, infinite, bliss..."

"Yessss...."

"Yes."
