Some more days went by. Stephen continued his struggle in handling things. He stuck with keeping to himself. Both Drew and Demetri could tell that Stephen wasn't doing well. However, he resisted their assistance.
Stephen had turned himself into the stereotypical vampire. He resisted going out during the day and only went out at night. For the work assistance for Mr. Dupont, fully operated the droid from within the apartment. Stephen did return to his behind the stage training. However, made sure to do as little as possible.
It was another night out for training. Frances was operating everything like normal. Stephen entered in and she made sure to provide a standard welcome like how she had for everyone else. He responded with a simple greeting. Frances really didn't know what to think of how he had been behaving as of late.
