<div class="SSN_level2">B. Your defenses are broken down.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. The first time you did it is always the hardest.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. You had strong resistance.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. You also had strong remorse.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Part of your defenses were destroyed.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. The next time it was easier.</div>
