"Im sorry, I didn't mean to get angry at you. I'm sorry."
Tia sobbed while still hugging Ian. Ian hugged her back and said.
"You're being unfair. I didn't do anything wrong."
His voice was trembling, and he looked like a bullied little kid.
"I won't do it again. Im sorry I'm not mad at you.."
Tia lighlty kissed Ian's forehead and hurriedly hugged him again.
She's purposely avoiding Ian's eyes so he can't see her wounded face.
Ian started to relax when he heard her say that she's not mad and just like that he's breathing started to get normal.
Kenny listened to their conversation, and he assessed that Tia is a crucial factor in Ian's treatment.
Upon noticing that Ian had calmed down, he went and talked to Ian.
He administered a small dose of sedative to help Ian relax. Soon after, Ian dozed off.
Kenny was sure he had given Ian some meds as relaxant but it seems like he had already used them up or he had totally forgotten about it.
Fortunately, he was nearby. If not, things might've gone south for his Brother Ian.
"Sister in law, can i tell you something about brother Ian?"
Kenny said while checking Ian's temperature. He was running a slight fever due to sudden fatigue and shock.
"Of course yes. What is it?"
"It's like this. In Brother Ian's case, after the abduction, he forced himself to act matured cause he thought his parents will likely to stopped the psych treatments if he acted like an adult.
In a way he succeeded, but it has taken a toll to his mental state. That and his unsupervised trauma from before had made his mind quite unstable."
He saw Tia's worried look so he instantly added.
"He's still normal don't worry. It's just that abrupt changes in his mood can trigger his anxiety and panic attacks...
I understand that you're just human sister in law, but please be considerate with brother Ian's condition...
Well, atleast for now. I ask you to observe him from time to time and if possible please log his daily mood.
Tracking his emotions were essential part of his treatment."
Tia quietly sobbed and nodded. She really felt remorseful and she regretted the fact that she had accused him. Kenny handed her some tissues.
"Sister in law, I can see that Brother Ian holds a high regard towards your feelings and your well being.
He value you so much that he's willing to just shut down his whole being so he can't hurt you....
Im not saying this to guilt trip you, I just want you to realize how special you are to him...
He showed you his real and vulnerable side. Him acting childish and weak in front of you is a sign that he deeply trust you... "
"I'll give you his prescription later and you keep the meds for him...
Hopefully it wont happen again but should he experience anxiety attacks again and I'm not around you can follow the instruction and give him meds. "
After he told Tia his evaluation, Kenny went to the living room and wrote down his findings in Ian's chart.
He's still wearing casual clothes but his action and aura were akin to a respected doctor.
Tia was left inside the bedroom, accompanying Ian.
An hour later, Charlie arrived together with TP.
