On the contrary. Storm is still having trouble accepting everything. He was completely unaware of what had occurred in Ashy's life. He avoided everything that had anything to do with her. Out of resentment, he cut off all communication with them. Especially when he discovered that Ashy had come to their house not to chat to him, but to inform him that she would be gone soon. She told his mom that she didn't want to be bothered any longer. Even if he wanted to go, he couldn't because of his resentment, embarrassment, and weakness. He can't find the right words to describe how bad it was for him.
When his mother emerged behind him as he was leaving the house, she asked, "Where are you going?"
He answered to his mother, "I simply want some fresh air, mom. It won't take long. I just need a fresh atmosphere so I can think."
Its a half lie and he knew his mom pictured it out.
