At first, Luthor thought Alex merely felt confused after hearing about his past. However, the young man's face had soon lost all of its color, prompting him to stop his tale about his childhood.
"Are you alright?" Luthor asked. "Your face is really pale."
"S-Sir Luthor, my memories of my childhood," Alex replied while grasping his head. "It's being erased."
It was then when the old man finally realized what was happening.
"It must be the seal Nero has placed on your soul," Luthor stated. "I thought the power of the seal only makes you forget about your past. But it seems like it is only reactivated when a special condition is met. Possibly memories related to the Aetherion Empire.
"I wouldn't put it past Nero to add some safeguards just in case I told you something about your past. Just calm down for now. It will pass."
Alex nodded and tried to clear his head. He stopped thinking about the Aetherion Empire and began shifting his thoughts to something else.
