Aaron has been friends with alcohol for five months.
He initially drank alcohol only at certain times and now spends almost every day drinking it. He would usually spend the night drunk and wake up late because of the hangover. Not infrequently, he even skipped working because he woke up too late.
All of that had happened since Ivory's leave.
Ever since Ivory left, Aaron had completely lost contact with her. It's not that he didn't try to find out. He did. Aaron had done everything he could to the best of his ability. He kept coming to the Guardian Base to look for Cakara, who he thought could help him. However, Cakara's whereabouts were so hard to find.
Failing to find Cakara in the Guardian Base, he turned to the Palace of the Supreme Council. However, the result is still the same. He couldn't meet Cakara because of the tight security.
