//2 Years After Graduation//

No-One's P.O.V

It's been 2 years since the Literature Club left school. During that time, they all agreed to keep the club going. They, eventually, decided to have their club meetings at Monika's house. Since then, the club has changed. Sayori moved in with Monika, Natsuki moved in with Yuri, MC moved into a new house with his girlfriend and Virgil now lives alone in the same house himself and Sayori were born into and moved out of to accommodate Natsuki.

Ever since Sayori moved out, Virgil has developed...issues. His main goal for his entire life was "Protect Sayori. Make her happy." and, now that she's with Monika, his job is complete. You would think that Sayori would have been dependent on Virgil considering how much he sheltered and protected her but, in actuality, Virgil became dependent on Sayori. She was the one constant in his life. He knew exactly what to do anytime he looked at her and, now, he barely sees her. He only sees her once a week and it's only for a few hours.

That might seem like a lot but when you've seen a person every day for the past 20 years, suddenly going to once a week is a difficult thing to wrap your head around. This is what happened to Virgil in the span of a few days. She brought up the idea to him and a few days later, she was already packing up her shit and leaving. Virgil only just got the chance to say goodbye.

He blames himself for Sayori moving out. Every day he has constant and severe panic attacks, lashing out at whatever he can. He's thrown so much shit at the wall, it's a wonder his house can still stand. The walls are cracked, badly, and the floor is painted with broken glass. He doesn't wear shoes, though. He just lets the glass slice open his feet. He deserves it, after all. He drove her away.

He hasn't eaten in days, his usual athletic build becoming thinner and thinner every day. He only eats out of necessity, keeping himself alive on the bare minimum of food, going days without eating and then packing himself with enough food to last the next stint. The only thing keeping him from starving to death is the thought that maybe...just maybe...Sayori will need him again.

Virgil's P.O.V

I hate this. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

You should be happy for her...

You should be...

You...

No-One's P.O.V

He continues like this, eventually talking himself into another panic attack. He doesn't sleep that night.

//2 Weeks Later//

Virgil's P.O.V

More panic, more hatred. More panic...more hatred.

The cycle continues.

I haven't been to a club meeting in 2 weeks. I keep making up excuses like "I'm busy" or "Got work".

I'm a dirty liar.

My sleeping habits are non-existent. If anyone saw me, they'd assume i'd been punched in the eyes by a building.

Can't move, no energy. Can't sleep, nightmares.

It doesn't matter.

I did this.
