As the hypnotic influence spread, more and more girls began to fall under The Hypnotist's spell. They would gather in a trance-like state, their eyes glassy and unfocused, as if waiting for some unseen cue.

Rumors had circulated about The Hypnotist's powers, how he could mesmerize anyone with just a flick of his wrist and a whispered suggestion. At first, everyone thought it was just a silly legend, but as the days went by, people began to notice that some of their classmates were acting... strangely.

With a surge of adrenaline, Rachel grabbed the watch, shattering the hypnotic trance. The other girls blinked, confused, as The Hypnotist's eyes narrowed.
