Ah, finally, it has been such a long wait! Such warm and happy feelings, I really am enjoying this story!
I so want to know more about the subliminal messages and what experiments are going on here. Interesting that only one message was actually clear, and that was that he loves the wet pack treatment. In a way I wonder if that was really needed, since he has never been that reluctant to under go the wet packs, but a bit of positive reinforcement is clearly a good idea, since there is a clear sense that there is more to come!
Plus the comments by our good doctor about these being the initial experiments with subliminal programming, clearly suggesting that there are more tests to come, bigger tests with more interesting results to check and observe!
The balance between wicked delight in his helpless plight and clear concern for his input, at times, and checking on how he is feeling and doing give this a very special feel, one that is so very hard to achieve in general. Watching his girlfriend get such wicked delight about him being totally lost to the outside world, and the power and control this helps to give them over him is a real delight, after all, if the people around him aren't having as much fun as he is, why would they want to keep doing all of this?
