Ikr? It's ok to want to be on neutral terms, but Garam is clearly uncomfortable around him. So, the only thing he should do is to treat him like any customer. Drop the "I wanna make things right" act and just back off. If he rlly wanted to clear air between them he should contact him not when they meet by chance, but reaching by himself lol
If the ex wants to get along with him, fair, he can desire it. If he wants to clear up the air about what happened in the past, fair, he can want it. But I SWEAR TO GOD if this becomes that situation where he wants to force that friendship, and force them to spend time together, I'm going to blow a fuse.
From Garam's reaction, whatever happened in the past was mostly the ex's fault. So, he just has to understand that the ball is in Garam's court now and Garam is clearly not interested in spending time with him.
