"Look, Sefie, I'm not sure that's how it works at all..."

"Of course it is! Confusion is a form of Hypnosis, Irvy, so if I hypnotise you and you learn to resist it, you learn to resist confusion status!" 

Quite how she had come to this conclusion, Irvine had no idea, but he'd learned over the years not to argue with his long-term girlfriend. Even if he had a distinct feeling this was a trap.

"And it's not a trap!"

...it was definitely a trap. But what was worse, whatever she had planned, or her being angry until he gave in?

Mentally sighing, he gave in.

"Okay, fine. I'll let you try it. But do you even know what you're doing!"

"Sure, I wave a watch or something in front of you, tell you that you're sleepy, you go into a trance, and bam, you're under. And then I can make you... learn to resist confusion!"

That pause wasn't good.

"...Do you have a watch?"

"Sure! Now, keep your eyes on it... You are feeling sleepy... Sleepy..."

"Okay, I'm not even gonna go near this one, I'm getting Squall."
