(neon sign buzzing) (clock ticking) (therapist clears throat) - So, tell me about this boomerang. - When I was a kid, growing up in Nigeria, I was happy. I had friends. One day, we were just playing with this boomerang. We weren't doing anything wrong. I took it on. I thought it would be fun. What a fool. I threw the boomerang, and it never came back. I waited, and I waited out there, but it just never came back. (suspenseful music) - Hmm. And you think this boomerang is coming for you. - I know it is. It's out there. Circling the skies. Watching me. Waiting to strike. (cat meows) Sometimes, I think I see it in the corner of my eye in the windows. I watch my back. Always. I can never be too careful. I spend every night waiting for it to get here. But any time I even see something that even looks like it's flying towards me, I take off running. I'm just... I'm losing it. So I've just got a question for you, Doctor. What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back? A stick, a stick! It's ruining my life! - You need to face your fear. You can't hide anymore. Take off the helmet. - Help me. Ow. - Ah-ha. - Ah. The boomerang, it hit me! - Yes, yes, it's all over. - I'm free!
