Title: Chapter 9: Confessions part 1
So, this mental illness split-personality that Ethan has, unbeknownst to himself, he's had since he was a child. But, Ian is not just a very affectionate cool lover he is also cruelly destructive to others, Ethan needs help because what further destruction will Ian do?
Olivia loves both Ian and Ethan, but now her love must also also be a helpmate! However, now is not the time to tell on Ian because, Ethan is in emotional turmoil at this knowledge coupled with the emotional onslaught of being unexpectedly in the presence of his worst enemy, his vicious mother. He's probably in fearful panic and strongly needs to depend that he has one friend there with him, Olivia; if she now tells on Ian, Ethan will feel betrayed and surrounded by enemies. Olivia should delay her answer until she can privately talk to Ethan and possibly also the Doctor in private.
She can pretend confusion at the Doctor's question and this "surprising" news about Ethan, to the extent that she wants time to really review his actions to determine if there was anything abnormal, as opposed to just eccentric. Also, cause further delay by questioning the Doctor as to why he wants this review of Ethan, especially since his mentally ill mother is not a reliable witness and what will be his therapeutic actions.
After, both mother and Doctor are gone talk to Ethan and tell him about Ian. Acknowledge him about his need for help, then he will also see that in her he has a dependable friend to give him support along the way.
Thank you Thespiandiva for this very interesting update. I greatly enjoy this story and have much affection for Ian/Olivia/Ethan. So glad this story is continuing!
