Chapter 29 Ryan's Comfort

• Another two days had come and gone. Aaron's school exams had concluded, marking the end of his academic journey. These days would be etched into his memory, the ghost of Ederic's mother haunting him. His condition was even more pitiable than Ederic's. The intensity of his dark circles and the pallor of his face spoke of sleepless nights and deep distress.
• With the weekend's arrival, Ryan made his way to check on Ederic. Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Alit refrained from entering his room. Knocking only resulted in the sound of objects clattering to the floor, a clear signal of his anger and frustration towards them.
• Standing outside the door, Ryan was met by a pleading Mrs. Alit, her desperation evident. She implored him to intervene and coax Ederic out, as the younger man had refused to eat for more than two days. It was a plea born of genuine concern for her son's well-being.
