It was two days before their planned trip to London when Maverick finally realized the truth—Julius had lost all of his memories.
At first, nothing seemed unusual. When Julius awakened from his long slumber, Maverick sensed no difference in him.

The moment Remus spotted Julius, the stallion nearly leapt with joy, pawing the ground and circling excitedly. It was a reunion Maverick thought would warm Julius' heart.
Yet, when Julius reached out and gently stroked the horse's mane, something startling happened—the white stallion recoiled, springing back as though shocked by his master's touch.
