Ever since her captivity, Lin Mo visited Vespera every night, grinding through her mental defenses. She was a tough nut to crack but it only took him three days before she eventually collapsed. Not because of despair but because of the hope he dangled in front of her, such as giving her freedom.
Of course, words alone weren't enough to accomplish that.
Lin Mo introduced her to 'convenience'.
First by adding a simple, mundane amenity to her otherwise sterile, white box of a cell: a small, floating holographic screen.
He didn't offer her food or a comfortable bed initially. For a being that fed on psychic feedback, physical deprivation was a secondary concern.
Her primary starvation was informational and emotional. So, Lin Mo gave her a window to the outside world, specifically tailored to maximize her psychological discomfort.
