'''Bait, hook, reel, release''' ('''BHRR''') is Mystery's attract loop during qualification and comfort:

# '''Bait''' — leave a gap she can DHV into ("most people here can't hold a real conversation").
# '''Hook''' — she invests (she tells the story, she defends herself, she teases back).
# '''Reel''' — you reward (attention, kino, a real compliment).
# '''Release''' — you pull back slightly so the reward does not become a firehose.

It is [[push-pull]] with names. It only works with [[calibration]]; run on a woman who is not hooked, it is just you talking in slogans.
