The panic from being hit, the embarrassment and anger at being ridiculed, the unease at losing control of things… Various emotions surged up in him all at once, making his head heat up. A bomb seemed to have exploded inside his chest, shaking him up so much that he wanted to spit out a gallon of blood. He had an urge to turn and run.

It was not something he had never thought about, but he would rather die than to face such a scene.
