Ray and Granule waved at Luix to let him know that they were there. Luix too saw them so he went towards them thinking the best course of action.

Does he want to travel alone or travel in a group. He just couldn't make up his mind. Being with them is very fun but once they might know that I don'y know what shall happen. Better to be safe than sorry.

"You're late! What were you doing, making us wait for so long time? I almost thought of leaving you!"

Granule shouted at Luix at the top of her lungs. Ray wanted to calm Granule down but today it seems that Granule was really mad.

Luix too felt that he was in the wrong but when he tried to apologize suddenly he couldn't speak out any words. It was as if he became a mute. Luix felt that something wrong happened with his body.

Ray and Granule who both were in front of him seemed so big to Luix suddenly. Ray and Granule just seemed like a giant. Not just Ray and Granule changed but his surrounding too started changing and became hazy and dim. As if they were in a cave. It would have been better if just that happened but it didn't, the surrounding started becoming noisier and more louder. It felt as if he was being tied by a rope and was being forced to listen to a loud speaker. He couldn't even struggle as his body didn't listened to him anymore.

Luix inwardly thought ,'This is bad'.

Luix wanted to do something but before he could do anything his consciousness drifted away.

Granule who was shouting at Luix felt that something was wrong with Luix as she saw some droplets of water which seemed like tears falling from Luix's face *which always seemed to be down.

'Did he seriously cry?' thought Granule so she tried to comfort.

"Don't cry Luix, I also was in.." Before she could complete her words Luix spoke

"Shut up" His voice was small but his words were clearly heard by the other two.

"What did ya say kid?" Granule not believing that Luix insulted her when she tried to comfort him.

"SHUT UP!!" Luix clearly was shouting but what they didn't know was that it was unconsciously done.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP..." Luix just kept on saying Shut up which irked Granule.

Granule tried to shook Luix's shoulder to get him out of his stupor but when she touched Luix her hand was slapped away.

"DON'T TOUCH ME!! YOU FILTH"

Ray felt that Luix must be in pain because Granule scolded him so he tried to comfort Luix but once again Luix just slapped his hands away.

"GO AWAY DON'T COME NEAR ME YOU MONSTER!!" Luix distanced himself from the duo and started running towards the forest.

Ray not letting Luix's slap interfere in his comforting ran behind Luix. Before long hugging him and not letting him go. Luix tried to struggle.

"FILTHY! FILTHY! FILTHY! YOU MONSTER!!.." Luix kept on struggling. Biting,Kicking,Scratching Ray to free himself before finally losing consciousness from Granule's karate chop.

Granule shrugged seemingly dissatisfied of the scene before her eyes.

"Let's take him to a hospital nearby. Let's ask him question later" Ray carried Luix in a princess carry while Granule followed him ,left to the nearest hospital.

LOBBY, HOPITAL

Granule and Ray kept on pacing around when a man in white robe came from the inner area of the hospital. The man asked

"Are you two his friends?"

"Yes but Doctor what is his condition?" asked Granule

"His condition is slightly better but when such outbreak occurs once again as you described, You must either immediately knock him unconscious immediately or bind him otherwise the situation might get bad"

"But doctor what happened to Luix? He suddenly had an outbreak when we were just talking. Is it a serious illness or what? What might trigger this once again?" Ray joined in the conversation as he had to know whether Luix will be able to go on a journey with him.

"Well, I also don't know but according to what you described he might have a misophonia or misanthropy syndrome. They both are syndrome where you hate sound and human nature or species respectively. But don't worry I have a hypothesis that he also might have a personality disorder. According to what you describe him as a person he is bright and shy but suddenly he turned into someone that he is the opposite of. It surely must be a personality disorder. I don't think it is harmful to his daily life the only setback is that we don't know what triggers it. *Sigh" The doctor gave a long explanation which the two only understood partially.

"Can we meet him now doctor?" asked Ray

""I'm sorry he currently is stable but if he were to meet someone he might trigger it once again" The doctor looked apologetic .

INSIDE THE WARD

"Ugh!! I seem to have triggered him once again. They might ask me about it . I should answer it honestly but I don't think I will able to travel with them any more now. But it was fun being with them " Luix had a weak smile on his face when muttered some words.

"Ray is probably worried, I can totally imagine that while Granule... she also somehow might be worried. It has only been a few days but it feels like years have passed by being friends with them."

" But only if it would have been longer.. It would have been more fun" With a weak smile on his face some droplets of tear fell from his eyes.

"But I can't cause I am a monster"
