[[I am SO SORRY for taking so long to get any more of this up. School was super hectic, and I went through a huge bout of writer's block on this that actually hasn't really left yet, which is why I think this part is rather disappointing, especially after such a long wait. I was surprised to see that the part had maxed, so I hope anyone reading this ends up finding it in it's new spot here. :) I will try to make updates more frequent from now on. So...thank you all for even reading this. <3]]Alfred was having a lot of trouble getting to sleep that night. He found himself tossing and turning more than usual. He couldn't stop thinking about what Ivan had said. It was a ridiculous idea, of course, Alfred knew that, but...what if...just what if...he was right? He felt stupid for even considering it, but then, what did it matter if he spent a bit of time ( ... )

"Alfred..." he heard Ivan murmur softly. He didn't want to hear it...didn't want to hear whatever the fuck that lunatic might have to say to him. What was he going to do to him now? Hit him? Beat him? Starve him?
"Alfred," he heard him say again, and this time he looked up, eyes shimmering slightly as he held back his tears of frustration. He'd planned that so well...he'd thought of everything! He'd had him scared, he was sure of it, and all it would have taken was a small movement of his hand, and he could have been on his way out of here right now ( ... )

I cheer on Alfred while at the same time I want Ivan to win and, more importantly, to see how he wins.
Ivan chose the perfect way to break Alfred. I can't see Alfred breaking from pain but this...he's already losing a bit with his thoughts and hesitance at attacking Ivan.
Ivan seeing what he does as 'education' is just so dark and amazing at the same time. His reactions and thoughts are so psychopathic (or sociopathic? I can never remember which qualities go to which) that I get shivers. Especially the last paragraph.
Good luck on defeating writer's block!

I'm glad to see that fighting spark in Alfred, even if I'm morbidly fascinated with watching Russia slowly snuff it out. America certainly wouldn't go down without some sort of fight, and you handled the situation excellently. Alfred's devistation at his slip-up -and the implications of the slip up himself, that purhaps some part of him doesn't sit so well with wanting to attack Russia- really shows just how much everything is affecting him. No matter what he thinks about his situation, it is getting to him...and the fact that it's happening so subtly is so like Russia ( ... )

That was intense...riveting would be a better word I think.
That is the essence of reforming the youth.
When a teenager or child gets grounded instead spanked, it's because the point is to bore the unruly kid to the point of submission so they would learn their lesson. Because it's in our nature to be active and be entertained. That's why kids look forward to the start of school during summer vacation because it gives them something to do, even if they do hate it.
Ivan taking that to the extreme is the perfect way to break Alfred is genius. Regardless of his power, he's still young and the greatest enemy of the youth is boredom.
Capthca: dreamy Telephone. Hmmm....A phone would seem beautiful to Alfred by now.
