Chapter 1247 Easy. You're afraid of circles--
As I cleared my gun once again for safety, I then took out a similar item to the MP5 I gave to Isaac on his birthday, and I switched the suppressor I had on my BCM Rifle with it. It was easy enough to swap 'em out and as I discovered that everyone was looking at me confusedly, I turned to Ella, who had now put on the eye protection with a darker shade, as I asked some questions:
"You taking any medications?"
"W-Wha— Why are you asking?"
"Just answer, please."
"I mean— no?"
"You like having bangs cover your eyes, right?"
"What's with these— Sure. But depending on my outfit!"
"Uh-huh, uh-huh. Then what about contacts?"
"What about them?"
"You wear them depending on the outfit too?"
"Of course! Why wouldn't I?!"
"How about now?"
"I didn't wear one."
"Because?"
"Because! It depends on my mood too, you know?!"
"Hmm~ That slightly~ complicates things... I'm not even sure what to treat you for..."
"Complicate what things?! What are you even trea—"
"I'm asking the questions here— but last one, have you had LASIK before?"
"Wha— How'd you know?! YOU READ MY MEDICAL HISTORY?! THAT'S—"
"I didn't, chill. I just saw a picture of you when you were small— I mean, younger."
Ella cut in, "Then... W-What now?"
I smiled at her, "We keep shooting until we figure out. It might be scary but we might find the root cause or causes, no? Wanna give it a few more tries?"
"O-Okay!"
"Then change glasses and do it again."
"Alright!"
So yeah, once Ella switched eye protection and lined up another shot, she looked happy once more because she didn't feel any recoil but her body was still recoiling for some reason, heck, I would've expected that her shoulder or at most, half her back would move but she looked like she was taking a punch from someone.
'Hmm... What if— I mean... There's also the issue that she needs to get used to the gun first...'
In any case, we tried more combinations where there weren't any attachments, just the flash hider, or just the suppressor with either glasses, and her reaction was almost the same for everything except with the muzzle brake on.
However, once Kaley had the idea to turn off the fucking lights and shoot some rounds while testing out all the other combinations, Ella's answer changed—even more when we turned on the lights and let her shoot with her eyes closed.
And lastly, the coup de grace was when we obstructed her vision of the gun while telling her a different setup before she started firing.
Kaley and I couldn't hide our surprise, "Huh./Whaddayouknow?"
"What? WHAT?! Can I open my eyes now?! This feels the best to me! Just let me use the muzzle brake and I'll be good to go! I won't go out but I'll be good atop a wall!"
I chuckled, "You sure about that?"
"Wha— Why are you—"
"Have you checked what you're running? Hmm?"
"You told me I'm using—"
Kaley cut her off, "Remove the covers."
"You— Huh? I'm using the same setup as before! HOW?! *removed glasses to check if it's tinted* I'm using the clear eye protection too! I thought there was something wrong with me— Wait— Is there? I'm really confused now, someone tell me what's wrong!"
I answered her question for her my way, "Easy. You're afraid of circles."
"HAAH?! THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE! WHAT?!"
