             "I don't want her to become lonely again," said Rick getting sad. "None of us do, but as ℥enji said it's not our place," said Leah. "And judging from ℥enji's tone it seems like she doesn't just remember, but has reverted to her work mentality," added David.

Kian hadn't slept or rested, since ⨊ disappeared which was more than a week ago. Kian felt a change in the atmosphere and turned around seeing ⨊ standing behind him. Kian ran up to her and embraced her with a forceful grip. ⧚Are you ok? Did anyone hurt you?⧚ he asked checking to see if she was hurt. And hugged her again when he didn't see any wounds. ⧚I thought I lost you again, that you wouldn't come back. I'm sorry I hadn't told you before, but we were in love... I still love you and want to be with you. Sorry, I hid it from you. I was scared that my appearance would frighten you or that you would hate me for making you wait for so long. Sorry, I made you wait a long time. But I'm back now. Sorry I lied about my name, that it was Kian, but its Ian.⧚ He rambled on and on in fear of losing ⨊. His body trembling, as he held her. His voice twisting in pain as he cried and tried to explain himself to her. ⧚I'll accept any punishment for leaving you alone for so long and for lying to you. Just don't leave me please.⧚

"So this is where the last project of doctor Raph was hiding," said ⨊ in a cold voice. Ian halted when he heard her words, he was just so happy that she came back that he hadn't noticed how she was different from before. He had only concentrated on seeing whether she was hurt. When he looked at ⨊, he saw her golden eyes, looking back at him with a cold and distant gaze.
