Aaron fails to persuade Roger to reveal Ivory's location.
No matter how Aaron begged and pleaded with Roger, the man didn't care. Ivory's best friend stubbornly said that Ivory was safe. He told Aaron he didn't need to look for Ivory at the Guardian Base. He doesn't need to shout to everyone if his Copulation partner is missing. He only needs to carry out activities as usual when the Second Checking is being carried out.
For that, he decided to return to work. Even though his mind was chaotic, he was still obliged to complete it. His pace of work for the past five months was too slow. He was left far behind because his focus was divided. After all, he should catch up again because he knows Ivory is fine.
That didn't mean Aaron was going to stand still. He will still try to find his copulation partner. However, he also will not neglect his obligations as a worker. He will untangle the tangled threads in his head so that everything is back in order.
