Norman looked at his scars...it hurted so bad. He locked himself on the bathroom and was breathing quite heavily. Emma was so fast in her movements, that he didn't even noticed her hand in his check, he didn't even noticed his wound until the blood dropped into his white coat.

And it hurted more than it should: the wound wasn't that deep and it was almost closed...the blood was stopping. Why did it hurt so much? He touched his check and without noticing 

A tear fell down from his right eye 

Did he do something that hurted her? Was she thinking about something else, was she hallucinating when she hurted him? She looked like she regretted that she did he moment she marked his face like that...she reached out for him with a sad face 

And still he was scared but he knew there was a reason behind it...and he should discover that was making her behave like that. Still, the problem was...there were video cameras in the room and he was sure that someone say it...the worst possible scenario: Vincent   

If Vincent saw that it would be a big problem and he just prayed 

He was sure that Emma didn't mean it...still it hurted more than he would expect. 

And so, like he always did he hide his pain from his face with a wide smile and walked back to the place there Emma was, still looking guilty, still reaching out for him or at least trying too

" Emma, sorry it took me so long...I'm back now! Are you all right?" 

" Norman- Emma sorry" 

" Norman- Emma sorry"

" Yeah...I forgive you so don't feel guilty... but would you tell me that's on your mind?" 

" Mind?"

" Yeah...that are you thinking...that were you thinking when you drew that you shown me, when you know, hurted me just now..." 

Emma looked down. She understood in some way that he meant. She was angry...angry because she took out her anger in Norman, when he didn't do anything wrong, when she knew that if he could he would set her free, because...he had such a painful face when she showed him her sadness 

And her sadness became his and she took it all on him...how could she explain that to him, how could she make up to him. He treated her so well and he didn't deserved such treatment. She was being unfair. 

" Emma miss family and friends...it's a pain. Norman is no fault, Emma is sorry..." 

" Yeah... you are angry right? I'm sorry if I'm the one that keeps you away from them...I understand if you-" 

Emma placed her hand in his check and for a moment, Norman was scared. Now this time, her movement was delicate almost in show motion, and he watched her get closer to him. He didn't move: there as a feeling that kept him standing waiting to be touched
