Grian, despite being the absolute center of attention, was one of the more private Hermits. Everyone had a soft spot for him, but it felt like Grian wasn't let himself relax whenever a Hermit was nearby.

Xisuma, himself, saw this behavior and wanted to know why Grian kept a distance from the Hermits. The blonde was chaotic, known for his pranks, and storylines, and yet not much else.

So he opened Grian's player file.

On the surface it seemed normal, but it wasn't.

"...What...?" Xisuma asked.

Xisuma grabbed his communicator, and messaged three Hermits. Grian, Mumbo, and Joe.

XisumaVoid: Hey, could you three come over to my base?

JoeHills: Sure? May I ask you why?

MumboJumbo: Me and Grian are on our way.

XisumaVoid: Grian. It's about Grian.

Xisuma put communicator down, and looked over the file again. Grian's mental health was horrifying.

Rocket spam and laughter made him aware of Grian and Mumbo's arrival. Then there was a loud thud and more laughter. The door opened, and Grian smiled to Xisuma. Mumbo came in only about 20 seconds later.

Xisuma stood up and went to grab chairs. When he came back, Joe had arrived. He set the chairs down, and sat down at his own seat.

"Grian. Do you want to start this?" Xisuma asked. "This is about you after all..."

Grian's smile faltered and he grabbed Mumbo's hand.

"Uh... PTSD? It's probably the worst one I deal with?" Grian started. Mumbo tightly held Grian's hand, and Joe looked to Xisuma slightly confused.

"...Sam, my childhood friend, delt with extreme psychological issues but we met when I was 8, he was 6, and our other friend, Taurtis, was 7. Taurtis and Sam were my best friends and Sam's parents actually adopted me. At 12 the police found out about me and I was forced into foster care in the UK. I met Mumbo at the first school I went to, after... trying to jump out of a window because there was a pop quiz my first day...

But at 17 I went back to Japan and joined Sam and Taurtis's school. Sam was mentally abusive, but because he was my best friend I didn't pay attention. It uh... It only got worse... Sam snapped one day and killed Taurtis because... me and Taurtis had formed a 'friends-with-benefits' relationship. Sam forced me to pretend to be Taurtis, and would abuse me whenever I didn't act like him good enough..."

Grian looked down at the floor as the memories came flooding back.

"I'm so sorry-"

"Its fine."

"It's not though."

"I'll be fine."
