"Ian?" called out Nina cautiously. "Get out," said Ian in a daze. "You really..." "GET OUT," shouted Ian getting up and driving them out of his house. Ian didn't know how many days had passed since ℥enji last met him. The days went by with him trying to remember his old self, evaluating his memories. Seeing if he forgot anything, left anything out or missed something. But no matter how many times he relived his memories he couldn't find any mistake or flaw. Ian spiralled out of control reviewing his memories again and again. Until he couldn't tell what was real or a memory anymore.
Ian heard someone knocking on his door a couple of time, to the extent that he noticed it. Ian's only thought was maybe something happened to ⨊ and ran to answer it. "Ian? What's wrong? Why are you... " said Alex who had come along with her friend. "Let us take care of you," said Alex inviting herself in while Ian was in a daze. When Ian opened the door, he only saw a stranger and was crushed. By the time he regained a bit his sense, they had already barged inside his house.
"I'm Alex. I used to date Gin and this is the friend I was telling you about," said Alex when she saw his confused expression. "This is Ian. He had a good life until a brat came along and ruined it," said Alex unaware of the change in Ian atmosphere and behavior. The woman who came with Alex noticed the change in Ian's behavior when Alex spoke of the kid and wanted to leave. She could see that Ian was not in the right state of mind at the moment and seemed to be in a daze. "Alex maybe you shouldn't say..."
