Everyone deemed the words of Ezekiel's father as an exaggeration. How can a 6-year-old kid even be considered as a scientist in the first place? How much more calling the clueless kid a mad scientist. Everyone just took it as a father's joke to his son, but only Alex knew that it's not an exaggeration at all.
Ezekiel may not be someone who can have perfect scores in exams, remember everything he reads, and learn things instantaneously. Ezekiel even forgets the important things if he isn't paying attention and doesn't have an interest in them. But the thing that portrays Ezekiel as a mad scientist by his father. Is that every time he thought of something crazy, he did the craziest things anyone could imagine.
