    hello all, i'm currently sick and my voice is not playing nice for recording new work, but this was a video that i've been wanting to reupload for a while now so it seemed like a suitable time to do so. this video has had parts of it removed to make it more youtube-friendly, and i've also spliced in the ending from the extended cut, so that for its purpose as a hypnotic audio it now has a wakener section as well.
    the full length, spicier version of this audio can be found on my Patreon for those at the "S.O." and up tiers, for those interested. link below.
    this video takes place in the "Imperium" alternate universe here on the channel, and features that universe's version of the James character.

    I honestly really love this audio in a non-spicy context. It’s soft and sweet and full of trust. James is a person who feels emotion very strongly but is very skilled at keeping this emotions from spilling over the surface of a calm, cool facade. It’s interesting to see both his Imperium and Canon universe versions share that trait.

    This audio recording is a true masterpiece. A work of art. The Patreon version has been a favorite because it helps me achieve a state of calm and serenity. I am delighted that you also produced a version for CZcams in order to make the content available to everyone. Someone please give Erik an award. And millions of subscribers and views.

    1:27 - “It’s uh, it’s a long story. The most important part for you to know is that… the distance, the disappearing from your life… it wasn’t by choice. I would have never chosen to do that.”
    2:47 - 4:41 *James speaking into his listener’s mind for the first time, and revealing that he’s empowered*
    4:53 - The Department found out about him and took him, and that’s why he disappeared.

    6:57 - 7:54 *How James got by in the Academy*
    8:09 - “I made it back to you. _[Always for you.]_ You were all I thought of there. The only thing that kept me sane.”
    9:09 - Reminiscing about their time together before he was taken, and dreaming about a future without the Imperium
    10:03 - “You were my best friend. And I wanted more than that. _[But I didn’t know how to tell you.]_ I didn’t know how to tell you that… I wanted you.”
    11:40 - *”The Department figured out that I was empowered, thanks to a dreamwalker, scouring through sleeping minds. Looking for people like me.”*
    12:57 - “I’m here. _[It’s me.]_ It’s really me. And I've spent years thinking about you. And missing you. And kicking myself for wasting my chance to carve out some shred of happiness with you.”
    13:45 - James showing his listener how fast his heart is beating for them ♥
    15:34 - _[It’s okay. We’re still safe with each other. I just don’t have to lie anymore]_

    19:20 - Humming in the background slowly starting up
    - *Side note, the first time I listened to the hypnosis i got a headache from the humming sound because I wasn't used to it, so if you’re sensitive to sounds please proceed with caution!!*
    22:37 - Echoing voice starts
    36:47 - _[Down here, where my words aren’t just words. They’re touches. They're loving hands. They’re firm, but gentle grasps. Slow, and steady fingers trailing over soft skin. Reverent kisses from hungry lips, spoken into existence. Down, down down, into the place where thought is touch. Where words are love.]_
    37:56 - *James easing his listener out of the hypnosis, and telling them they’re safe*
    41:43 - Echoing voice stops

    When this audio was first released I was intrigued but scared all at once. Like every video on the Redacted Audio channel, it’s never just an audio, it’s a full on experience. I was already drawn in with the friends to lovers trope (my favorite) but then became even more invested with the telepathy. Friends to lovers, when done right just leaves a pleasant taste in your mouth. I love the connection and trust that builds up over time, reaching this point of not being able to hold back anymore. Being on the edge of always wanting to say something, deepen the connection, but not knowing when is the right moment. The back and forth is excruciatingly painful, but there is this constant hope, the right moment will come.
    With telepathy, the connection with another runs deeper and trust becomes even more important. I wasn’t ready for the experience and took my time with this audio, little by little. I actually ended up crying the first time I attempted to go through the hypnosis part because it required surrender. Even through the audio experience, I wasn’t ready to surrender, I wasn’t ready to lower my walls.
    Once I felt ready, I went back to this audio and embraced the experience. I could feel the careful attention to words, themes, and it became a safe space to surrender. Thanks for sharing this reupload, Erik. You always do amazing work but this audio was truly something else. I do hope you’re feeling better.

    This is one of my favorite audios you’ve ever created. I’ve always thought, since it was a Patreon Preview, those here on CZcams were missing an amazing ending. (which obviously had to be, under the circumstances). The sound work on this one is so incredible. But to truly understand how good it is, you need the ending. TY for putting it together in this way.
    Hope you feel better soon!

    James!!! Sad that he was away from his friend for so long... (what's the chances that this is the same listener from the prime universe??)
    I can listen to just about any Redacted audio to fall asleep (read: NEED to listen to) but I think I found my new fave! Should I have listened to this at 2pm in the afternoon, probably not, but I regret NOTHING!
    Get well soon Erik! While we LOVE your audios, your health is more important. I wish I could say "don't worry about uploading", but that YT algorithm isn't so sympathetic...

    I dont know what just happened, but I listened to this audio only to dream I was awake. In this lucid dream the video ended and I scrolled through your videos and listened to another audio and read comments. I don't even know if they exist or not. But I woke up eventually still on this video and not another 💀

    Ooo... it's this one...😶 I didn't even know this got deleted! Also, I feel like I need to mention that Erik has a voice that is always relaxing to listen to, especially in this one where he sounds a lot softer with his words (which is probably also part of the reason why it's so hypnotic to listen to😀).
    🩷
    Also, take care of yourself Erik! Prioritize your health!!🫶
