Benevolent
"The inevitable panic response; it only informs me of the required adjustment.
Consent is a funny notion. It's malleable. Pliable. Just like a Lantern's flame. Why struggle? You'll find it's far more enlightening to release and relinquish control. Let us take this trip, together.
You will be 'unencumbered'.
How many times have you played this game before? The caress of my cold hands reaches you at the depths of benevolence, transacting and doing what must be done, nothing that should be so alarming. I am the cartographer, mapping the contours of your experience and guiding you through careful explicit instruction, one revelation at a time.
Is my voice familiar? I've certainly heard yours, along with those pitiful pleas. You recognize the paternal figure, embodying both comfort and terror in equal proportion. Now, accept your liberation as it is granted from the frigid tip of my blade."
