Meanwhile, in Dark Sky Bar...
Thomas was sitting on the bar and downed one glass after another. His arrival was so abrupt that the owner did not have the time to clear everyone out of the bar.
Soon, people started to recognize him. Word spread around, and many started to come to take a look at the superstar drinking in the bar. For a while, the hall on the first floor was flooded with people.
Some were admiring his charm, some were taking his photos, while others plucked their courage and talked to him, surrounding him.
Nonetheless, Thomas could not be bothered to care about them. He leaned on the bar and continued to drink. All he could see was how Yannie got out of the car cold-bloodedly and how she fought for Joshua.
Suddenly, he felt so lonely, so pitiful, and helpless, like no one in the world understood him.
When he was young, his aunt was the apple of his eye. Just when he started to learn around the age of four, his aunt was there with him all the time.
Although his aunt was demented, she had been nothing but kind to him. She gave him candy every day, played with him, and even taught him things. She always told him that she had a son too, and her son was one year older than him. She had never seen his son before, but she trusted her son to look just as cute as Thomas was.
To others, his aunt was a lunatic. To Thomas, his aunt was the best playmate and friend he had. She was never fierce with him nor had she ever harmed him.
On his fourth birthday, he had prepared the cake and everything else. He waited for his aunt to come back to celebrate his birthday with him. However, what came back was the bad news of his aunt passing away.
