"If you see me, you will probably think I'm not taking care of myself," said Ian not forcing her to reveal herself and playing along with her ruse. "But when the person that you love is hurt or in pain its normal to become distressed and have this appearance. To get worried and not take care of one's self," he added trying to explain himself.
"It hurts me to see you in pain, to see you hurt. I'm just so scared that you will disappear from my side if I look away for even one second," said Ian. "That I would never be able to see you or hear your voice or be able to interact with you," he said stroking her eyelids and her lips. "That I would never be able to feel your warmth like this," said Ian burying his head in her neck as he spoke.
"℥enji told me that when you thought I was dead, you ended up working nonstop to get rid of the ones who hurt me. And when you found out that people were collecting being like me, you did the same thing. You did that cause you were worried about me, just like I'm worried about you," said Ian. "I know you will say that it was work and had nothing to do with me," he added. "But we both know why you were like that," he whispered.
"If you want to hide or want to take time getting used to being around me, it's ok. But please don't leave me. I may look like this, but I'm happy with you. But if you leave then its better to kill me yourself. Cause I would rather be dead than stay away from you," said Ian pleading and begging her to stay with him. "Please don't leave me," he whispered in a pained voice.
