The moment Sei left, Zaki also walked out of the room and hastily walked towards the entrance.
“Do you have anything more to ask?” Izumi then asked the approaching Zaki. But instead of answering, Zaki just signaled him to follow him.
The two then walked away from the entrance before Zaki began to talk.
“Izumi, tell me what you think about this? Does this mean Sei’s emotional illness is completely cured?” Zaki asked with intensely serious gaze that Izumi couldn’t help but reflexively straighten his spine.
You really don’t need to intimidate people this much just by asking you know… sigh…
“Well, honestly, for the whole five years I spent observing him, I almost couldn’t believe that the person I met today was the same with the Sei I used to know. He is now completely different. I spent five years doing everything to help him but so far, nothing happened, not even a little improvement. And yet within just a couple of months that I haven’t seen him, he is already feeling every emotion that a normal person would feel. Right now, I believe he’s finally cured. That’s my certain answer as his psychiatrist.” Izumi answered causing Zaki to finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Truth be told, Izumi actually gave up on Sei long time ago. Even though he was considered among the best psychiatrist who successfully helped countless patients including soldiers that was torn emotionally by war, he never met anyone like Sei. He still remembered the young man he met from five years ago. That time, Sei’s eyes were blank as sheet of paper, as though it was a beautiful pair of lifeless pearls. That time, Izumi couldn’t help but see him as a living dead. He was an intelligent person, no, he was considered a genius among geniuses, with such unreal appearance too. However, there was one thing that couldn’t be found in him at all. Feelings…
Zaki was actually the one who hired him, not Sei, but the first time he met Sei, Izumi almost wanted to back off. He was extremely scared, and as he looked at him, he thought that Sei was already hopeless. And his thought has been confirmed the longer he watched him. Izumi already did everything, he tried delving deeper as he could but to his dismay, he simply found nothing, not even the most vivid feeling inside him.
The young man Sei, those times just appeared as though he just doesn’t have any feeling at all. He just doesn’t appear to have anything. There was a complete void within him. There was just nothing at all, not even pain.
That was why he was completely bewildered seeing the current him.
“Honestly… I am quite bewildered I almost thought I am dreaming. I spent five years trying to help him feel again, you even sent me abroad to study for his sake but a single girl beat the science of psychology and saved him with ease. His case is indeed rare. Meeting a person who finally brought his feelings back in such a short period of time is indeed almost a miracle. However, …” Izumi paused as he looked at Zaki with intent and serious gaze before he continued.
“I wanted to warn you Zaki, you are aware about the reason why Sei became an emotionless and heartless being, and this time that he could finally feel again… and he will to lose that person as well… I’m afraid he won’t be able to rise again… I know Sei will always be safe under your wings Zaki, but you have to protect that girl too. I know you know what I mean, she has to be protected at all cost for his sake.”
