[ For some reason Aoba was still half-expecting to be hooked up to one of the machines, even after the explanation. Thought that maybe Prince would be operating them instead of Cathaway, but no. Realization finally hits him as the back of the Prince's hand, hard and sudden and stinging. So that's how they're doing this. He lets out a soft cry of shock and pain already as his head is slapped to one side.
He doesn't want this, no sane person would. His right hand forms a fist, but... something in the back of his mind moves, as if on it's own. He's felt it before, and forcefully ignored it every time. He wants it to move again, so he can be sure.
Instead of raising his hand, he grips the edge of the table, sets his jaw, and sits back up. ]
