Delia was sad that Ash had left for five years, but there was nothing that she could've done. Ash was too hurt emotionally. The only choice I had was to let him leave, she thought sadly.

She didn't let anyone go after Ash, in fear of Ash suffering another breakdown and calling himself worthless. She couldn't stand to lose her baby boy.

But, Ash wasn't a baby.

He was a young man in need of attention to his mental health. She knew that it would have affected Ash when he couldn't stand the pain of losing. But, his delusions were still there, and they were making him dangerous to be around since he attacks without warning.

When she first found out about Ash being insane, she couldn't believe it. Of course, she didn't treat him like a monster, either.

She only tried to help Ash get better.

However, how can you help someone get better when you don't even know how they became that way?

That's the question that Delia asks herself every day. She didn't know how or why Ash was insane. One day, he told her that he hears things and then all of a sudden, he started to have delusions.

However, Delia knows that Ash never told her about why he was insane, but his actions told her everything. Everything negative that happened to Ash had affected him negatively, and she genuinely wants to help her son, but she can't.

She can't unless Ash comes home and tells her what happened to him. She hoped it wasn't her fault in the making of his insanity. She had told him about his father, who is now dead. Having a deceased parent is negative whether it was a mother or a father.

Ash's father died before Ash was even born. Delia knew that Ash was going to be a splitting image of him when he grows up and splitting image he was. With the same face and the same hair, Ash looked like a 15-year-old Rudolf Ketchum.  

Sorry for the very, very long wait. Extreme writer's block and mostly being lazy had stopped what I wanted to do with this story. However, I am now back in action and ready to finish what I have started! Again, sorry for being extremely late.
