Sheâs right, why am I overreacting? âBecause it looks nasty.â
âIt doesnât. Hold on. Iâll put some sugar in this.â Delighted, Sasha trotted to the kitchen to get some sugar
and poured it into the bowl in front of him.
Sebastian was rendered speechless by her action.
âAll right, now itâll taste a whole lot better with sugar added in it. Finish it in one go and you wonât feel a
thing.â She was trying to get him to finish the medicine.
Sebastian stared at her darkly. It was just like the time he took her with him right after she came back
from Clear. He was paranoid, thinking she might try to poison him every chance she got.
âYouâre dead if this still tastes awful.â He said the same thing he did back then.
Sasha smiled gently. âIt wonât. Trust me.â
For your sake, I hope so. Finally, Sebastian started drinking the medicine, but he spat it out immediately.
âD*mmit! You lied to me again!â
The medicine still tasted as awful as ever. The bitterness overpowered the sugar.
Despite getting yelled at, Sasha was shocked that he said the word âagainâ. Indeed, this was the second
time, but the first time she made the medicine was back when his memories were intact.
She started tearing up, but it was tears of joy. Sasha stared at him happily, much to his confusion.
Why is she crying? Itâs the truth. Itâs nasty. What? I canât say the truth now? His veins started popping,
and his knuckles started turning white from gripping the bowl too tightly.
âIâmââ
Before she could even finish apologizing, Sebastian finished the rest of the medicine in one gulp and
slammed the bowl on the cabinet.
Huh? He actually finish that? She thought he wouldnât finish it this time no matter what.
Sasha was petrified for a while before she went to pick the bowl up. âMr. Hayes, do you need some water
to wash it down?â
Sebastian was already lying back down, his eyes closed. âScram,â he spat.
Sasha opened her mouth, but she said nothing. Amused by his childish antics, she left like he told her
to. Fine. Iâll make myself scarce. But just because youâre a good boy.
Right after she came into the kitchen, she texted Willow: Good news, Willow. He remembered a bit of his
past!
Willow: Really? You might be hallucinating though. I know how much his condition is affecting you.
Oh, she doesnât believe me, huh? Sasha thought it was normal to be doubted. after all, nobody would
believe it, not when Sebastian wasnât healing up even after so long. On top of that, what Sebastian had
was multiple personality disorder instead of regular amnesia.
Nonetheless, it didnât take Sasha too long to come back with a confident reply.
Sasha: Itâs true. I made some meds for him, but he said he would never take it again before he even had
a taste of it.
Willow had no idea how to reply to that.
Anyway, I added some sugar to get him to finish it, but that got him more agitated. He told me he wonât
fall for the same trick twice.
But hereâs the thing, Willow, Iâve only made this med twice for him. The first time was back when he
forced me to treat his insomnia right after I came back from Clear. And this is the second time.
Sasha finally couldnât hold it in, and her tears fell on her phoneâs screen.
On the other hand, Willow was shocked to hear about something like that, and she finally believed
Sasha. She replied: Thatâs good then. Your luck is finally turning for the better.
Sasha replied with a simple âyeahâ.
She almost couldnât hold her excitement in.
Willow was also happy for her, but then she remembered something. She texted: Nancy, I think you
should bring this up to the professor. See what he thinks about this. If he is regaining his memory, you
should get the professorâs opinion on your next step. Thatâll be better for Sebastian, donât you think?
Sasha: Youâre right. I canât believe I almost forgot about that. Iâll call the professor now.
She wiped her tears away and texted the Jetroinian professor.
Sasha: Professor, itâs Sasha. I need to tell you something. Itâs important.
She then told him everything about Sebastianâs reaction.
Not long after the text was sent, the professor texted back: Thatâs good news. It seems that his main
personality is regaining control. Once the main personalityâs back in charge, his alter ego will cease to
exist.
