Third Person P.O.V:

Charles was walking around the music room of Henry's mansion.

He noticed a piano standing there. A light shined on it from a nearby window. He walked over to this piano and sat down. He took a deep breath and mumbled, "It's been awhile..."

🎶"Here's the thing, I can't do anything right.."🎶

He sang as memories all came back.

-- Flashback --

🎶Try as I absolutely, totally might🎶

He was finally starting for the government, he had waited his whole life for this moment.

🎶The bones are melting, the skeleton is ash🎶

On the grassy area, he saw multiple people training and practicing.

🎶The clavicle detaches and falls with a deafening crash🎶

He walked over to where he was supposed to go to fly his helicopter. He started it up after sitting in the driver's seat, and flew up into the sky.

🎶And I'm not your protagonist🎶

He looked over and saw a large pile of bags and whatnot.

🎶I'm not even my own🎶

His brain just, switched from reality to fantasy. He all of a sudden decided to crash into it.

🎶I don't know anything🎶

He lunged in the direction of the pile and crashed head first into it.

🎶I don't even know what I don't know🎶

After the dust clears up, he could see multiple people running over and panicking.

🎶And if you look outside you'll see🎶

He walked off and dusted himself off, he only had a few bruises.

🎶Disintegrating trees🎶

People ran up to him and started to... scream?

🎶The artificial way the sunlight bounces🎶

He had been silently panicking as everyone screamed and yelled in his face. 

🎶Off the waxy leaves🎶

He felt a hole, digging itself inside his chest where his heart used to be.

🎶My heart catches on every thorn🎶

He didn't understand, what happened back there? Why did he feel like this.

🎶You're already halfway out the door🎶

After driving home, he laid on his bed. 

🎶And I've never looked so old🎶

His cold apartment had made him a bit chilly so he checked the thermostat.

🎶And I have never been so cold🎶

It was 85 degrees, why had he been cold? 

🎶And it is 85 degrees🎶

He sighed and screamed out;

"🎶I don't know what I need🎶..."

After going to the doctor the next day, he was diagnosed with ADHD. He knew he was autistic for his whole life, but now this?

This was like a nightmare.

He had been given two canisters of pills, "Take two a day, one at night, one in the morning," they told him.

🎶There's lukewarm herbal mango sweet hibiscus tea🎶

When he got home, he chocked down the pill and laid down.

🎶On the hot garbage pile in which I fucking sleep🎶

He eventually feel asleep, dreaming about what happened.

🎶The walls are empty it's so ugly I could🎶

Everyone began to become larger, all facing him. They started to screamed and yell at him for standing.

🎶Burn the whole place down🎶

Then breathing.

🎶It wouldn't catch 'cause all the posters🎶

Then being alive.

🎶Are on their way to my hometown🎶

He woke up with a cold sweat rolling down his face. He covered his face with his hands and cried.

-- PRESENT DAY --

🎶And I am not your protagonist🎶, he screamed.

He sang while tears filled his eyes;

🎶I'm not even my own🎶

🎶I don't know anything🎶

🎶I don't even know what I don't know🎶

From outside, Ellie and Henry heard him, watching from the door.

🎶And if you look outside you'll see🎶

🎶Disintegrating trees🎶

🎶The artificial way the sunlight bounces🎶

🎶Off the glitching leaves🎶

Tears poured down Charles' face, realizing what a loser he really was.

🎶My wet heart catches on every thorn🎶

How pathetic he was.

🎶You're already halfway out the door🎶

🎶And I'm so tiny and so old🎶

He slowly became quieter.

"🎶And God it's never been so cold🎶..

🎶And it is 85 degrees🎶..."

He inhaled and screamed;

"🎶I don't know what I need🎶...."

Henry and Ellie walked in and tried to comfort the young former-pilot.

"Shh, shh..," Henry told him, "It was a long time ago..."

They both hugged him as Ellie whispered to Henry, "Why is YOUR boyfriend crying?"

"I'll tell you later," Henry hissed at her.
