[Okay, he doesn't just feel sweaty - he feels like he's about to burst, too, and quite frankly he can't tell if it's the good kind of bursting or not. Hell, he's too alarmed to even realise that thought is complete nonsense.
The Boss's words only make the compulsion stronger. Doesn't he understand? No - what does he think Doppio was about to say? Maybe he's suspicious. Maybe he thinks he's hiding something - something important, something dangerous, something other than... that. A frivolous, silly feeling.
And yet, frivolous as it may be, keeping himself from blurting it out takes a herculean effort.]

[It happens very quickly. In one moment, he's holding the laptop closer to himself in the vain hope that it will lessen the painful cramp in his stomach. In the next, the pain subsides, and he'd be grateful - relieved, even; does that mean the urge is gone for good? - if his eyes didn't then fall on the Boss's hand over his own, then on the look on his face.]
Don't-- You're not supposed to do that! I'm fine!
[Another pang, almost like hunger, flows straight from him to the Boss. Is it because he's lying?]
