⨊ just dulled down and ignored ℥enji. "The only reason he is in that state is cause he loves you and is worried about you. If you leave him, he may not be able to handle it," said ℥enji knowing that ⨊ could hear him. "Just think about it, don't act rash," he added.
"I'll hold her while you put the things away," said ℥enji when Ian got back. ⧚You should take care of yourself. If she woke up and saw you in that state, she would think that her being with you is bad for you.⧚ said ℥enji while Ian was in the kitchen. Ian froze when he heard ℥enji's words. ⧚Can she see and hear now?⧚ asked Ian. ⧚Just take care of yourself.⧚ said ℥enji not answering him yet, hinting to him about the situation. Ian saw his reflection thinking about what ⨊ would think if she saw him, with this appearance.
Ian watched ⨊ as she sat in ℥enji's arms with a dazed expression. "Give her to me," said Ian taking ⨊ from ℥enji. ⧚I understand.⧚ said Ian. "I'll drop by later to check on you," said ℥enji leaving Ian alone with ⨊. "I missed you, my little love," said Ian stroking her cheek gently and watching her closely. "See I got the sweets that you like," said Ian tapping ⨊'s lip to feed her. ⨊ didn't respond as usual. Ian watched ⨊ and could see that she was forcing herself to keep a blank expression.
"Are you hiding from me?" asked Ian. "Do you hate being with me that much?" he added seeing ⨊ flinch slightly in response to his words. ⨊ just ate the sweet that was in Ian's hand. Ignoring him as if she never heard anything. Ian realized that ⨊ didn't want to interact with him and was hiding from him.
