DENNIS USING THE SINNED SYSTEM IN THE TEXTS AS JOHNNY
S - SUPPRESS YOUR INSTINCTS: fight back the urges to tell Mac who he is, to make things personal, to feel jealous at Mac flirting with who he thinks is someone else
I - INFLATE HIS EGO: complimenting Mac constantly. Asking for pics and finally freely letting himself talk about Mac’s body. Giving Mac affection without restriction like he’s wanted to for so long
N - NEED HIS POWER: ask him to run errands for you, ask him to dirty talk with you, make Mac think ‘Johnny’ needs him in every way possible (emotionally, sexually, etc.)
N - NEGATE HIS POWER: randomly ghosting him. never meeting up with him in person. keeping him just close enough but never where he wants to be
E - ENGAGE PHYSICALLY: the beads and the sexting
D - DO YOU WANT A TISSUE?: literally I could see him sending Mac off to pick up tissues, but metaphorically he was probably getting Mac to open up to him emotionally, like deeply, enough so that Mac got attached and “in love”
