I'll go have a chat with him and see what's up." Benjamin left the study to look for Elijah. But just as he reached the door, he heard Elijah saying, "He's not a jerk; he's a good guy!" "How is he not a jerk? Everything he does screams 'jerk'! You say he's a good dad and treats you well; sure, I'll buy that. But saying he's not a jerk? No way, I don't buy it." "He... he didn't hurt your mom, he just didn't like her." "Didn't hurt her? He fathered us! My brother found out everything. He thought my mom cheated during their marriage, kicked her out with nothing, and trashed her reputation! That's like the pot calling the kettle black. He does the dirty and blames someone else! And I should thank him for not liking my mom? As if! He doesn't deserve her. My mom's the best there is!" "My... my mom's the best!" "I'm not saying your mom isn't great, just that my mom's the top." Outside the room, Benjamin was about to lose his mind. What on earth was he hearing? He didn't dare barge in, but rushed back to the study and reported, "Tarquin, it's worse with Elijah than we thought! He's talking to himself, like multiple personalities having a conversation!" Tarquin was taken aback, "What do you mean?!" Benjamin anxiously explained, "It means his other personalities have taken over. They're popping out and speaking through Elijah's body as if he's chatting with someone else. But in reality, he's talking to himself, and the personalities even disagree with each other.

And these personalities, they don't even think they have the smom. Each one believes their mom is the best in the world! It's like Elijah's fighting with himself, a clear sign he's in a bad way, maybe even heading for a breakdown!" Tarquin, scared out of his wits, jumped up and paced towards the door.
Elysia just cout of the bathroom. She saw Tarquin's panicked face and asked, "What's wrong?" Without answering her, Tarquin pushed open Elijah's door.

Tarquin tried to steady his own emotions, "What are you doing by the bed?" "Got thirsty, cdown for swater." "Were you talking to someone just now?" "No!" "But your Uncle Benjamin said he heard you chatting, even arguing with someone." Elijah glanced at Benjamin, "Uncle Benjamin must've heard wrong."
Benjamin said, "Elijah, your dad mentioned you forgot about today's family remembrance." "I didn't forget." Benjamin was more than puzzled.
Tarquin was also taken aback, "But you said you forgot that you've been steeping a day. "Forgot earlier, remembering now." Tarquin clearly didn't quite believe him. His expression was complex.
