Another possibility is that she was under a lot of stress or pressure at that time. Telling an emotional story could have been the trigger that made all her bottled - up emotions come to the surface. Sometimes, when we are already on the edge emotionally, something as simple as sharing a story can make us break down.
Maybe she was recalling a very sad or traumatic personal experience. For example, it could be about losing a loved one or a difficult time in her past that still haunts her.
Some of the audience might have felt deeply sympathetic towards her. They could have sent kind messages in the chat to show their support.
It could also be due to nerves. If he's nervous about telling the story, perhaps in front of a large audience or to someone important, his body might react in strange ways and gagging could be one of those involuntary reactions.
He could be nervous. Maybe he's not used to speaking in public or sharing this particular story. The stress of getting the story out right might make his throat feel tight, leading to the gagging sensation.
There could be a physical issue. For example, if he has a problem with his throat like a minor irritation or something stuck in his throat, it can lead to gagging while talking. Also, if he has a reflux problem, stomach acid coming up can cause discomfort and gagging.
There could be several reasons. He might be trying to hold back laughter while telling the story and accidentally start gagging. Or perhaps he ate something that didn't agree with him right before starting to talk, and it's causing discomfort in his throat as he tries to speak.
One reason could be that she is extremely nervous. Maybe she's not used to public speaking or sharing her story in front of an audience. Another possibility is that she might be physically unwell. For example, she could have a sore throat or some kind of respiratory problem that makes it difficult for her to speak smoothly.
Maybe she faced a huge heartbreak, like losing someone she deeply loved.
Maybe she has experienced a lot of hardships in her life as a geisha. The strict training, the complex relationships in the geisha community, or the loss of true love could all be reasons.
This is a very abnormal situation. However, if it were to hypothetically occur, it could be due to some sort of psychological disorder where boundaries of appropriate behavior are blurred. But this is highly unlikely in normal circumstances.
It depends. Some people are more likely to get emotionally involved in the process of telling a scary story. For instance, children or those with a vivid imagination may cry while telling a scary story as they are fully immersed in the horror they are creating. However, others may be more stoic and not show such an emotional reaction.
