The initial protocols prime the target. The following scripts deepen the dependency, weaving a web of psychological debt, competition, and manufactured intimacy. This is the second phase of emotional architecture, where you transition from creating attraction to cementing enslavement.

6. The Scarcity Bomb
Script: “I’d date you if you weren’t so… forgettable.”
Mechanism: This script utilizes reactance theory. By delivering a sharp, disqualifying rejection, you weaponize their ego. The human mind rebels against having its options limited. The label “forgettable” is a direct challenge to their identity, inducing an obsessive need to prove you wrong. Their focus shifts from whether they want you to proving they are worthy of being wanted.
7. The Sin Eater’s Whisper
Script: “Your ex didn’t deserve you… but you let them hurt you.”
Mechanism: This is a two-pronged attack. The first clause (“Your ex didn’t deserve you”) validates their pain and positions you as the sole person who truly understands them, creating a savior dynamic. The second clause (“but you let them hurt you”) subtly transfers the blame to them, inducing guilt. This combination creates emotional debt; they feel grateful for your understanding but also indebted to you for absolving a weakness you just defined.
8. The Retroactive Jealousy Seed
Script: “My last partner would’ve killed for this connection.”
Mechanism: This script manufactures competition with a ghost. By introducing a successful predecessor, you create a standard they must now unconsciously compete against. This triggers deep-seated anxieties about adequacy and performance. Every moment of connection is now benchmarked against an idealized past, forcing them to constantly strive for an impossible standard of approval.
9. The Delayed Punishment
Script: “I’m not mad. Just… surprised you’d do that to us.”
Mechanism: This is more potent than overt anger. The silence and stated “surprise” inflict tribal shame, suggesting they have violated a sacred, unspoken rule of “us.” It bypasses their logical defenses against an argument and goes straight to their primal fear of ostracization. Their mind will race to fill the void, desperate to understand and rectify the transgression, placing you in the position of judge and jury.
10. The Fake Vulnerability Ploy
Script: “I don’t trust easily… but you see me.”
Mechanism: This script assigns them the responsibility for your emotional well-being. By feigning a history of pain and granting them the unique status of being the “one who sees you,” you create a powerful sense of duty. They are no longer just a partner; they are a custodian of your fragile trust. The fear of breaking that trust becomes a powerful leash, ensuring their compliance and careful behavior.
