Tw! slight unsympathetic Patton at the end. It isn't exactly unsypathetic but it might be interpreted as such, so just in case




I'm Agitation. I've always been. Right? That's who I am. That's what I represent. Or is it?

At first I thought I was Fear. Then Exitement. Then a mixture of both of them together. For some time, I thought that I had finally found my name. Agitation. Well, that's not exactly my name. My name, my real name... that's another thing. I'm talking about what I represent. The others have it very clear. Morality, Logic, the Creativity twins, Deceit... They all show signs of knowing what they where meant for since the beginig. And I know that because I was the first one to apear. I was the first side ever to be created.

The first few years where lonley. Then, Morality, Deceit and the orignal Creativity apreared. They all seemed to understand what they where meant to do. When Logic came, he already knew all the answers, even if he was the youngest. But I was never sure. Not even now. And that's scarry.

Thomas is already 12. Wow. Time has passed so fast, and a lot has changed. Now the mindscape is divided. The Prince and the Duke hated each other since the begining. Having them live together was a nightmare. That's why, four years ago, Morality created the dark and the light sides of the mindscape. Aside from the name, they are both totally the same, each one at one side of the Imagination, but even if theoretically there's a distance bettween them, you could just sink out and apear on one or other side. 

That isn't the only thing that has changed. Thomas now goes to a new school, a new highschool. He still has some old friends there, but he's grown apart from most of them. I'm scared... I fear that this isn't Thomas's place. That he doesn't belong there. I try to warn him, to keep him protected, but I can't scape the feeling that something that I'm doing is wrong.

I'm walking throught the light side of the mindscape. The Prince is in the Imagination, enjoying the few hours that he's allowed to explore, since Logic has explained many times that Thomas needs to focus on school. 

I'm alone, and I hear voices. It's Morality, he's talking with Logic. I get closer, and without meaning to, I hear their conversation.

"I don't know what's wrong with him," Morality sighs, "I mean- he's been acting so differently lately!"

"I know. I've also noticed. His behaviour is, in fact, concerning," Logic agreed.

"But what are we going to do? We- we can't kick him out, but we can't be with him like this. He's going to end up ruining it all...."

"Are you sure? How is he exactly affecting you?"

"He- his constant worries, his paranoia that our friends are fake, his denial toward the rest of us... It's afecting Thomas badly. It's afecting me badly. I can't keep it like this. He's becoming a bad influence," Morality explained. 

Logic hugged him, "Don't worry Patton, it'll be alright. I'm sure that if we talked with Agitaion he'll understand."

Wait. Wait wait wait. I- What!? I was hurting Morality!? No- No. I couldn't- I couldn't be doing this to him... I couldn't hurt him! How was I hurting my best friend!?
