Why is my ex looking at my instagram stories after months of no contact?

Anonymous
Me and my ex didn't end on good terms. We were together for almost a year and a month after we broke up, I found out he was in a relationship with a girl he met while with me. I last spoke to him 4 months ago to tell him how he hurt me. We spoke a few times after that and ended with us both saying water under the bridge and we wish each other the best.

Fast forward to two weeks ago. We don't follow each other on any social media. I noticed he watched one of my instagram stories which means he searched for my profile. Over the past 2 weeks, he would then watch pretty much all of my stories (5+) without following me. A few days ago, he started following me on instagram then unfollowed me less than 24 hours later. What gives? That same day I view the story in his profile for the first time and a few hours later, he makes his profile private. What's your interpretation?
