It's been a couple of days and everything's good now. Except my fucking vitiligo. The moment that I entered the bathroom to get dressed and look at me in the mirror I notice tht my eyelashes have turned white. I just stare at those (eyelashes) without doing anything. The door of the bathroom opens.

"Sorry. Wait. Are you okay?" I head Ice saying.

"My ... Umm ... My eyelashes are white. Not at all but those are whiter".

He walks near me and looks at me. I turn and look at him and he finally notices my eyelashes. He looks at me and I look back at him.

"It's getting worse, Levi" he says.

"I-I don't know why it ... Fuck" I look back to the mirror. "I'm okay the last days. I mean ... What?".

"Because of the whole thing that happened with Silas? Maybe?" I look at him and then back to the mirror.

"Maybe" the door opens again.

"Guys?" Eli says and walks near us.

"His eyelashes are white" Ice says and Eli checks me out.

"Are you feeling alright?" Eli asks me.

"Better than before" I answer him and he nods at me.

"Want me to call Silas or-"

"No" I immediately say. "No no no. They mustn't learn about it. Especially Silas".

"Why not?" Ice asks confused.

"He is already worried enough about the vitiligo on my hair. Especially when it grew more. I can't do this to him".

"Levi, they will see you" Eli tells me.

"They can't".

"Come on, Lev" Ice says this time.

"No no no" I look back at the mirror but then we hear a knock on the bedroom door. I look over there immediately.

"One second" Eli says and goes to open the door. "Boss?".

"Is Levi here?" I hear Silas' voice.

"Yeah. One second" Eli walks back to the bathroom. "Levi?".

"I-I can't".

"Levi, come on" Ice says and I sigh. I take a deep breath and walk outside.

"Yeah?" I ask Silas.

He immediately notices my eyelashes. He stares at those for a few minutes before he focuses back to me. He takes a deep breath before he talks.

"Alessandro wants to check your shoulder out" he says and I nod at him.

"I'll go right away" he nods at me.

"Are you okay?".

"Yes".

"Okay" he looks at my eyelashes again. "If you need something, I'm here" I nod at him.

"I know".

He looks at me again and then he walks away. I close the door and let out a sigh. I get dressed immediately and my brothers stare at me.

"You have to calm down" Eli tells me.

"Didn't you see how Silas was?" I say as I tie up my suit shirt.

"Levi" I look at him. "Calm down".

I take a deep breath and nod at him. He nods back to me. When I get dressed, I put my phone on my pocket and my gun on my waistband. Then I go upstairs at Alessandro's office and knock on his door. He immediately tells me to enter and I walk inside and walk near him. When he sees me, he looks confused but then he mentions me to sit down and I do so. He unties the bandage on my shoulder and checks it out.
