He was walking around their childhood house. He was not himself. His lips were dry and pale and the dark circles under his eyes showed signs of sleep deprivation. It's been days. Ion has been calling out her sister Vera as he searches around the old house and their backyard. But there's no sign of her. Ocean. He heard that she mentioned that the gem that she needed was in the ocean. So, he walked on foot on the way there. Without any rest or water. His mind was focused on the task given.
The beach was at least an hour's walk and upon reaching there, he walked directly to the water to dive through to find it but people in black suits kept calling his name. He didn't recognize them. He nearly died by just going there.
"Sir Ion," Someone shook him. "Please drink some water."
