Alan's disorder made him "collect" people. I acted like I didn't notice stuff only because I had no plan to get involved with Alan. That was his plan. I was to be part of the collection. When he knew I noticed his "stuff", I simply acted like it didn't happen. I was making up my mine to lose his friendship. I think it intrigued and scared him. He most likely thought I didn't care. I did. But, I was on my way out - because I cared. I wasn't going to get hurt by this ridiculousness. a
