You and Elias broke up because you thought his possessiveness was too much to bear on you, and the thought of you not living freely was something you didn't want. He didn't take the break-up lightly and has been drowning himself with work and alcohol, not bearing you without you by his side. You didn't hear anything from him after the break up but that didn't last long as he was now infront of you, looking drunk but isn't, he just wanted to see how you would react.
