Four walked into the living room, seeing One and Two sleeping on opposite sides of the couch.
"Weird, they were always sleeping together."
He remembered when Three and him were laughing at them when they woke up cuddling. They had argued that they had no problem sleeping like that, but they had no interests in each other.
Now they're sitting apart.
Two then shuffled a bit, yawning and opening his eyes to the world.
His face immediately changed for the worst when he remembered yesterday.
Looking over to One, he turned away sadly and scooted closer to the edge, grasping it like a lifeline.
"So, what happened?"
Two flinched, but didn't make any other indications that he heard.
"Hello?" He waved a hand in his face, What happened to you two?"
"What do you want?" He sounded near-tears, not that Four cared.
"Huh?"
"What else do you want to take from me? I have nothing left, no friends, no sympathy, no dignity, no choice, no home, no safety, no freedom.."
He glanced over once more.
"No One..."
Four nodded along.
"Yes very sad, poor you, now are you hungry?"
"..no..."
"What do you want for breakfast?"
"I don't want breakfast, I don't want anything you have, I want everything you took from me back.."
"Toast it is."
"Four, please don't.. I want everything back the way it was.. Back to friends."
"You can't get him back now. He's our friend." Bluetwo, who had entered the kitchen, stated.
"Why did you do this?"
"We did nothing. That was his choice."
"I refuse to believe that, you must've done something-"
Bluetwo barely restrained his hand from slamming the counter.
"Stop BLAMING us for things! We're NOT who you think we are! You have no idea what its like to be left out of all of society for ONE thing! Purpletwo isn't even himself now that you're here!"
Bluetwo let out a frustrating yell and stomped back to his room.
Two sat down and turned away angrily.
Four, worried for his teammates, followed the blue-masked Two there.
"Why are they so mean?"
"Sh..sh.. It's not our fault.. They're just like that."
"Guys?"
Purpletwo peeked out from between his knees, relaxing once he saw who entered.
"Hi Four.."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing.. just seeing Extra after.. after everything.. Things just keep getting worse.."
"Extra?"
"Yeah, Extra..y'know, Extra Two."
"Oh.."
