                "Let me see," said ℥enji taking ⨊ from Ian. "⨊?" he called out, but nothing happened. ⧚⨊?⧚ he called out again. ℥enji could feel that there was something different with ⨊, but couldn't tell what it was. Since she seemed the same as she was the past few days. "I need to talk to her alone," said ℥enji. ⧚She might not want you to know.⧚ he added. Ian hated the thought of ⨊ hiding herself from him, but left ⨊ with ℥enji. "I'll get her something to eat," said Ian before leaving the house.

"⨊ we are alone now," said ℥enji. ⧚Are you seriously trying to hide yourself from me? Ian may not be able to recognize since he doesn't know what it means and it is very light, but I can feel the change in you.⧚ he added. "Even Ian felt it. It shows how close he is to you," said ℥enji. "I won't ask how it happened or what happened. But please talk to me. You can stay or leave anything you want, I'll help you with it," he added, distressed when ⨊ still didn't respond.

⧚You haven't been taking care of yourself like Ian.⧚ said ⨊ glancing at him. "⨊ can you see and hear?" asked ℥enji. ⧚Only a bit through my ability. And only for a limited time. Only if someone is this close to me.⧚ said ⨊. "When?" ⧚I woke up last night.⧚ "Why didn't you call me or ௹enji when you got hurt?" ⧚Couldn't. I wouldn't have even been able to meet you if Ian hadn't found me.⧚ "You're hiding from him? Why?"

⧚Wasn't going to. But when I saw the state he was in, I wanted to see how bad it was for him, me being in his life.⧚ said ⨊. ⧚Why are you in such a state? You're not new to this. Or were to trying to find out what happened?⧚ asked ⨊.
