Deception 5 steps
Erasing Audrina's Trauma and Rebuilding Her as a Younger Sister
Damian used electro-convulsive therapy to erase Audrina's memory of her own gang-rape in the woods, then altered clocks and ripped out calendar days so she would believe she was two years younger. He filled the resulting gap with a fabricated narrative of a 'first Audrina'—an elder sister who supposedly died before Audrina was born—and anchored the lie through self-hypnosis in that sister's old bedroom.
