When Kane was still inside the office, Xander sat on the couch. “It’s been a while since I last came here.”Erin who had just come from the kitchen, put down three glasses of juice on the center table before she sat beside him. “Nothing really changed here, right?”Eren chuckled and took a glass of juice and took a sip from it. “I wonder what those two would be talking about.” Though he was curious, he wanted to respect his father’s decision to talk to their friend alone. He could just ask Kane later if it wasn’t confidential.The guys looked at Erin when they heard her phone ring. She was compelled to check her phone all of a sudden because the attention was all on her. She furrowed her brows when she realized that it was Xander’s sister.“Lexi, why did you call?”Xander looked at her with a raised brow when he heard her call his sister’s name. Why would his sister call

Eren took the family car which was bigger compared to his own car. They all went in and Kane noticed that Ed seemed to be eager but he was keeping his expression neutral. “You noticed too?” Erin, who was seated beside him in the middle part of the car, asked with a smile on her face. “He had been trying to copy you lately.” “I already said that he’s not like me, though?” Kane insisted as he pulled a book from his bag. “No books allowed. Do you want to destroy your eyes?” Erin nagged with raised brows. She took the book from Kane’s hand and put it in her bag. “My eyes wouldn’t be ruined from reading.” Kane insisted but the lady wouldn’t background, but Erin acted as if she didn’t hear anything. Erin turned to Ed and she slapped her forehead when she noticed that even her younger brother was also reading a book. Since Ed was seated beside Kane, Erin leaned closer to her younger brother and pulled the book from his hand. “Hey!” Ed growled

After the party, Kane asked the Ruiz siblings to just drop him at AC on their way home. Erin looked at Kane with worried eyes but Kane just looked at her as if to assure her that he would be fine.While in the car, Ed leaned his head on Kane, and soon enough the child was already fast asleep. Erin smiled as she looked at the two in the rearview mirror while Eren smirked when he noticed his sister’s expression.“Stop looking at them like a proud mom,” Eren teased his sister in a whisper.“What are you saying?” Erin rolled her eyes as she took her phone and connected it to the Bluetooth. She played the music on her playlist and hummed to ignore his brother’s teasing eyes.Eren averted his attention to Kane who was silently looking outside the window.“Kane, is it fine to drop you at the stop near AC? I forgot I’m on coding today so there were routes I’m not allowed to pass.” Eren sneaked a g

Kane could feel as if his head was tearing apart as he tried to open his eyes. He groaned in pain as he reached for his head and coiled like a kid in the bed.“Kane, are you all right?”He heard a worried voice from behind him but he could not open his eyes from the pain. He groaned louder and held his head tight. Why was the pain not decreasing? Why did it feel like his skull was being drilled in?“Argh!” He gritted his teeth trying to alleviate the pain even just for a little but nothing worked. The voice that kept on calling him was just making the pain in his head even worse. “Shut up!”He kept turning on the bed. He was in so much pain that he wished to end it no matter what the cost. Dying would be better than that pain!“Kane?”“I said shut up!” he yelled as he covered his head with a pillow. No matter what he did, the pain was still there and it was just getting worse.<

“What do I want to do from now on?” Kane mumbled to himself as he dropped himself on the bed. It was past midnight but his mind was still active and he could not sleep.He looked outside the window and sighed. He had no family that would look for him. He was a test subject. He only had two friends. There might be a heavy reason why his mind decided to shut down and bury all his memories. Would it be worthy to continue to live how he lived before?He sighed. He was not sure if losing his memories was a sign for him to not pursue his old life. Mr. Romero explained to him that his memory loss was caused by a psychological phenomenon and not because of physical trauma. It meant that his mind was caused to shut down by a certain experience.Would giving up his old life be the right answer? He was not sure, but he wanted to know the answer soon. He needed to tread carefully since his life would change exponentially depending on his decision.Kane wo
