just to make things clear, running away on your own is different from being unwillingly and forcefully kidnapped. SPOILERS:
the "SORRY" note was written by the maid then she put it on ian's desk after ian was thrown away in the carriage. so NO, IAN DID NOT PLAN TO RUN AWAY AT ALL. also, ian changed his name to "NICK" because he thought that MAYBE raymond initiated the order or if not, 'someone' did that to throw him on a far away place so there'll be no more hindrance in ray and the bitch's wedding. anw, ian will talk all about it with the pigtail-braided girl, like he feels that he doesn't want to go back anymore, instead will live as NICK because he THOUGHT that raymond is okay with his disappearance and by this, they can now MOVE ON WITH EACH OTHER. But NO, RAYMOND IS NOT OKAY WITH IT. ray thought that ian went on his own to the place where that old expert painter mentioned so he just let ian be. but when he asked him (the expert painter), he said that ian did not tell him such thing and he doesn't know where ian is at all. that's where the search for him will start.
