Deprogrammed

Gwen walks into Dr. Coal's office still carrying the cult's marks. Those sessions start out like any other until Gwen's words hit different. She says the collar doesn't own her anymore. Later Dr. Coal finds a box on her desk, opens it, and there's a collar just like the one that used to run Gwen's head. The note is simple: put it on. Curiosity wins. Dr. Coal slips the leather around her throat, clicks the buckle, and the second it locks she feels the old program slam back into place, wiping her clean and turning her thoughts into whatever the collar wants.
