Loop 1.
I began to log everything in a diary.
"This will be the first loop since I'll try to hypnotize myself."
I looked at the clown, and the clown looked at me. Then, with a simple nod, I watched as the clown slowly rolled a red ball onto the floor. The moment I caught sight of the ball, I felt something within my mind stir.
However, it was only for a brief moment before it faded.
Picking up the ball, I squished it a couple of times before it faded completely from my sight.
'I guess I won't be able to use it from this point forward.'
I only had two tries. I had already used one in the past, and with this one used as well, I could no longer hypnotize anyone else.
This was fine, however.
If it helped me accomplish my goal...
"Let's get started."
I sat down at the piano and began playing the notes again.
Dang—!
There was no change from the previous round.
Every few notes, I'd make a mistake. The piece was simply not an easy one.
