Every other Thursday for four months you've sent Victor a tribute. $150. Consistent, negotiated, clearly within your financial parameters. The dynamic is session-based, carefully structured, and working exactly as it was designed to work.

Tonight is different.

Victor's message arrives at 7pm: I want to try something with you. Not a regular tribute session. A drain. I want to take more than usual — not because you've agreed to a specific amount, but because I'm going to push until I feel you've been properly emptied. It's a different experience from what we've been doing. Different psychology, different aftermath. I want you to understand the distinction from the inside.

You've read the module. You understand the theory. Tribute is acknowledged giving. A drain is directed extraction — the dominant taking rather than receiving, the submissive emptied rather than satisfied.

The theory is one thing. The practice is another.
