Catapult

Ba-dump. Ba-dump.

The patient could feel his heart thumping wildly in his chest as the Geisha chased him down like prey. His legs felt sore, very sore, but all his thoughts were on the open exit. At the gate, his teammates waited for him anxiously, waiting for him to either get hit by the Geisha's sharp fan or finally escape with them.

At this distance, he would be able to pull himself to the gate using a grappling hook! He bites his lip and raises his arm, aiming for the flat rods on top of the gate but he looks, and-

"Huh?"

He was out of grappling hooks.

He grits his teeth and yells, "Get out of-!"

"Mister Emil!"

The patient's eyes flick up to meet Anne's. She points to a contraption a few feet from the gate with a red pedal--a catapult!

"Use it! Trust me!"

Using the last of his strength, the man rushes forward and steps on the pedal, the catapult launching him in the air, and he's flying in--

The opposite direction?!

Watching the ground grow nearer and nearer, Emil couldn't help but notice the burning feeling in his chest as he yelled the merchant's name angrily.

"I'm sorry, so sorry!" The toy merchant shrieks, bowing her head in shame. The psychologist sighs and shakes her head.

After the match, he had gone straight to Ada, and Ada took him straight to the infirmary. The doctor took it upon herself to treat his bruises, and while she did, Emil started telling her about the match and the catapult and how annoyed he was. After hearing only a quarter of the story, she'd called for Anne. By the time the blonde woman stepped foot in the infirmary, she was practically bowed over, saying "sorry" over and over.

The brunette turns to her lover and dabs at his bruises with a towel, "And then what happened, Emil? Did the "Hunter" catch you?"

"No," he murmurs, "I got out."

She sighs again, "The Geisha has been out of sorts lately. We ought to be thankful for that," she turns her head to the merchant, "Isn't that right, Miss Lester?"

She nods, "I won't make the same careless mistake again, I swear."

"Thank you. I'll hold you to your word, then."

As the toy merchant shuts the door behind her, Emil settles into Ada's warm embrace.

Emil believed that the asylum had taken away what made him human-that is, emotions. Ada had taught him love. Today, he learned (or rather, re-learned) another: annoyance.
