Chapter Text
"You can go fuck yourself, and your "Democratic Republic"- go fuck Karl fucking Marx-"
"You're deluding yourself, Alec. Deep down you know, you know, you know where your mind belongs. I'm helping you to find yourself."
"Stay the FUCK OUT OF MY HEAD"
"I'm helping you Alec. I'm going to help you understand that."
"I won't join you. Communism, your system, is rotten to the core."
"You have your doubts. You have them."
"No. Stay away from my thoughts. Stay awa-" Alec backed up as Fiedler advanced ever so slowly.
"Don't resist the inevitable Alec. I'm already making you conscious of things you'd never even considered."
"Nn-o s-stop. Stop. Communism is wrong. It's wrong- it's-"
" Perfection "
Alec felt his back thump against the wall. Fiedler did not stop.
"Alec, you know what is right. You know . You realize now that you've always known what was morally right."
"I- Fiedler, stop this-"
"You begin to see all the flaws in the capitalist system. And you understand now, don't you? You understand that everything the Circus told you about Communism was poison ."
Alec's eyebrows knit together. "No... no.... you're wrong- you must be wrong..."
"I'm right Alec. You're right. Deep down, you know you're right, because you believe in this system of ours. Ours."
"Nnn-nno... not ours- yours - F-Fiedl-Fiedler please, please stop this, I know- I know what you're doing to me-"
"Open your mind to the possibilities- open your mind to me ."
"Fiedler stop making me know these things these truths please PLEASE PLEASE!"
"Do not... resist ."
"I- I-"
"You cannot resist any longer."
"I-"
"Let your body... relax. You're so close to understanding now. There's no need to be so... tense."
"I... you're right.... I am... rather...". Leamas slid down the wall a few inches.
"Feel yourself unwind. Let yourself relax, completely and utterly loose..."
Alec's muscles fluttered, then slowly, he tottered. Jens moved forward, holding him up against the wall. They were so close.
"Now Alec. You can just relax your mind. Your mind needs rest- let it become loose- unwind- unprotected and utterly, utterly relaxed."
Alec's head fell to rest on Jens' shoulder.
"There we go Alec, there we go. Let me in, let me help you- let you relax... even... more... completely ."
Alec's breath deepened.
"Good... good. Now let me help you unknot those harmful thoughts that torment you. Let me clear away all the worry."
"F... Fiedler...."
"Shhhhhhhhhhh..... let all those disruptive thoughts of free will whisper away in the wind. They cause nothing but pain- a burden of responsibility that you would never choose ."
"... o.. ohh....nnhhh... how... lovely...."
"Mmmh, Alec, you understand now- you understand how wonderous a feeling it is to be free- free of all burdens..."
Alec hummed, his eyes gently shut in utterly relaxed content. This was... perfection.
"Control is so liberating, is it not Alec?"
"Quite."
