I was pretty brainwashed by the time I got to the parent group, but there was definitely still a large part of me that was "in reality" still. The thing about Elan, is that they were masters at slowly dripping out information. So it was the kind of thing where I really didn't know what to expect from the parent group, I just knew that I wanted to earn one. By the time I had reached the point where I knew I would probably have one in the next few months, it was only then that they started "practicing" with me. But I still didn't know what to expect. As we got closer to the actual date, for example, a month away, the "practicing" started to become more and more sinister. So my point is kind of how smart they were in terms of slowly dragging you into THEIR reality. Once it was a week away, nearly every day they would remind me that it wasn't promised and that if I did anything wrong I wouldn't even get the chance to try. And they were devious. It would literally be something completely unrelated, like maybe I would be scrubbing a trashcan and they would walk by and tell me that I wasn't doing it fast enough so maybe I didn't really deserve to have that parent group after all. See what I mean, they were constantly hanging stuff over your head like that. So even up until the day before the group, I truly believed that they would rip it away from me. And it wasn't just some idle threat either, because you would see them ACTUALLY do it to other people. So you knew they were capable of it. I once saw a kid in Elan for 3 years and the night before his "graduation" (parents coming up the next day to take him away for good), they found out some "guilt" he had been hiding and essentially cancelled the entire graduation and made him start from ZERO again. Zero! Back to square one after 3 years. Seeing stuff like that made you realize that nothing was certain. So to recap, in the beginning they hung the possibility of the parent group over my head, as it got closer they began aggressively telling me what I HAD to do and that if I didn't even practice the right way, they would take it away. And then when it actually was the day of the parent group, I was such a nervous wreck about "getting it right" that the original plan of using the parent group for my own ends seemed like a really, really, big gamble. So everything in Elan was kind of a slow-burn like that. You were constantly weighing the stakes and the Elan program was designed to keep you in this state of mind where you knew even the smallest act of rebellion could have the most insane consequences. Kind of like a "if you go at the king, you best not miss" mindset. And remember that you were surrounded by 60 other kids, and every once in a while you saw one of them take that shot, and 99% of the time, it ended up being a miss. And you were not only forced to watch them endure more Elan torture because of it, but you were forced to become an accessory to the torture, or else you were next. I think this mind-fuckery was Elan's strongest "security" feature. It was much more effective than the zones and guards and surrounding forest.

Wow. Absolutely was not expecting this turn. This comic is probably the hardest to believe so far, since we've seen so little of your training or prep work for the parent interview. Looking back, do you think you were totally conditioned to perform, or was there still a part of you that thought you could make a quick plea before Ron forced you out of the room about the abusive environment? Do you ever think your stay could have ended here if you had said the right things? Previous chapters (Ch. 33) said you had spent hours rehearsing exactly what to say to your parents about how you loved them, were your son, it was a cult, it was dangerous, etc.
