               "Have you contacted ℥enji yet?" asked Nina. "No, I'll wait until she wakes up," said Ian. "But he needs to know..." "If she doesn't want him to know then I won't tell him," said Ian interrupting Nina. Nina knew that Eumi wasn't a simple person, that ℥enji was the one that followed her.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up?" said Ian when he saw ⨊ stir, stroking her back. ⨊ turned around and glanced at her surroundings even though she was in a daze and couldn't see anything at the moment. ⎨Don't worry. I won't let them get close to you.⎬ wrote Ian. ⎨You have met them already.⎬ he added. But ⨊ didn't react to him in any form. "Hi, I'm Rin..." "Don't go near her or talk to her," said Vincent interrupting Rin.

⨊ just stared in the other direction before turning her head to Ian. ⎨Hungry?⎬ wrote Ian. Tapping on her lip to feed her. ⨊ just ate in a daze and went back to sleep. Ian ate as she slept, watching her to make sure she was comfortable. "She doesn't..." said Nina not knowing how to say it. "It seems like she is here but not entirely here," said Haley. "Looks like you found a way to interact with her," said Vincent.

"My friend knows a reliable caregiver that can help you take care of her when you're at work," said Fei. "No caretaker. I'm going to look after her. And I'm not going to work," said Ian in a cold tone. "I know you ..." "Stop," said Nina interrupting Fei. "I know you're not going to work for now. But later on? I mean, it will take more than a year before she can be left alone and to find a family for her would take time," said Fei ignoring Nina's warning. Fei kept rambling on and hadn't noticed Ian's atmosphere becoming dark and violent.
