"Face my fear? I just can't stand kids, let alone, people.." he sighed. "I mean.. except for you, I can tolerate you. It's just other people that I can't... And kids are just... loud, they move around too much. they can't sit still for 5 seconds, like they are incapable of doing that.." Sounded more like he was ranting on how much he didn't like them, rather than trying to face his fear, he couldn't do that. He just didn't know how to explain it.  Just avoid it, that's what he was doing now, avoiding Alex. Ethan sat there a moment, letting his legs dangle off the side of the bed, though they touched the floor, he had to lie down on his bed, staring up at the ceiling. With that, he changed the subject again to avoid progress in the conversation. Wavering around on different topics due to not liking the last one apparently.<br/><br/>"The scales are multiplying... I may not feel my skin anymore if this keeps up..." he said. Would it be best to go to a doctor and see what this was all about? Why he was gaining so many scales so quickly? Over the years, they grew slow, at the age of 10 he discovered them, but now, they are just growing rapidly... He didn't know what would become of him then. What would he be in the next year? Would he still be like this? Or, different? It was hard to process this information since it's never happened before. "I wanna know why it's multiplying so quickly..." he sighed.
