Sia stiffened for a moment and nodded.

This feeling of something trying to break out of her, she had it since she could remember.

At first, it was weak but as she grew up, it increased.

Varian's presence somehow slowed it down and she was able to suppress the weird feeling welling from within.

"Don't worry, it'll be alright." Varian patted her back slowly and whispered.

The first time this feeling intensified, Sia faced a similar situation. It was when she was 11 years old.

Amanda was not at home. Varian was worried about her and took her to the hospital.

After overcharging them with unreasonable tests, the doctors told Varian that it was a panic attack.

The 11-year-old Varian didn't know what to do, so he hugged her and stroked her back.

When he was sad, Amanda did this to him.

So he did the same to Sia.

For some reason or another, Sia's condition improved after that.
