[ Main POV - Logan ]

Thomas... Did not adhere to the plan me and... "5 AM Thomas" have set for him... However, he seems particularly happy.
Still- It is... Frustrating. Incredibly. Frustrating.

The mess in his house, the disregard for his own health is just... So... Upsetting...
And the others? Well. They are not of help.

From silencing me, the voice of logic, to disregarding Thomas' well-being, for the most part. Do they really not see it? It should have been obvious. Especially that video about Selfishness vs Selflessness. Did they not see what they were doing to Thomas was affecting him negatively? Illogical. Just... Illogical.

However, even I can see Thomas did need whatever he had to do at that moment. After all, it does help him mentally. I obviously cannot disregard his feelings.

But...

They cannot disregard reality, the physical side of things.

Thomas does not take care of himself and his surroundings. But the other sides do not see that problem.

Regardless of this, me; The Logical Side ... Has to do his best with helping the Host... Thomas.
Even if my influence is not strong... I must keep the gears moving. Without me, Thomas would not function.

"This, this is all so stressful." I said.

My job has become harder. I no longer have time to make jokes and feel emotions. When was the last time I laughed..? Joked?.. It has been... So long. However; Logic must never falter. I must surpres my emotions.

Looking over my desk in my room, I summon myself a bottle of wine, and a glass ... Then I pour myself a drink.
...

I must surpres it so I can work more efficiently.
I deeply care about Thomas, and I cannot stand seeing him like this... Yet what can I do?

There's always a balance to it all.
Logic and Heart.

But...

.
.
.

He barely even listens to me, the other sides, disregard me.

The balance, is gone. And has been gone, for a long while.

| Time Passing |

I have drank ... 3 or 4 bottles of wine.
This is not very healthy. But- I must get back to work.

I believe Thomas is back from his date with Nico. However, considering the time...

" 8 PM " I said after looking at the clock in my room.

Well, it's definitely too late for Thomas to do our schedule. So perhaps this will be a job for tomorrow Thomas... Or... After-Tomorrow Thomas... Or...

...

Who am I kidding...

sigh

Well. I can hope.

...

Alright... It wouldn't hurt to check the other sides. I'm assuming they're at the common rooms of the Mind Palace.

"Logan!" Patton exclaimed, seeing me rise up.

"Hello, Patton." I replied.

"Hi Nerd." Roman added.

I look at him and wave. Roman gave a nod of approval and returned to watching Disney.
I myself went to sit at the table.

"I'm cooking us dinner Logan, gonna join us this time?" Patton asked me.

"I don't see why not... I am not busy." I told him.

Patton smiles, "Yay! I'm happy. It's good to have you joining us this time Logan!- And kiddos, wash your hands alright??"

"Of course Patton, I wouldn't dare eat with my hands dirty!" Roman replied.

"Sure..." Virgil added. Yes, he was there... Watching Disney, with Roman... He was pretty quiet.

"You too Logan!" Patton said, looking at me.

"Of course." I replied back to him.

I am on good terms with the other sides. I do not actually have any quarrel with them for the most part. Holding grudges is illogical... However, their... Incessant- Disregard for what I have to say in regards to Thomas' well-being is... Infuriating... And so do the insults thrown at me, and- ...

I have alot of problems with them, but I do not tell them, as illogical as that may sound, it is highly improbable that they listen to me.

I still feel as if they should have noticed that what they were doing was harming me. But, that aside...

"It's done!- Go wash your hands! Logan, can you set the table please?" Patton said.

"Of course." I said, and then got up to wash my hands and then set the table.

Patton put the pot down at the table, and the other two went to wash their hands...

Eventually, we all sat down at the table, and began to eat.

"This is... This- This is amazing Patton! 10/10!!" Roman shouted after tasting Patton's cooking.

"Glad ya like it kiddo!-" Patton said before being cut off again by Roman; "Like it... Like it?? LIKE IT????? ... I LOVE IT!!!"

"Oh dear..." Virgil quietly said.

Meanwhile, I mostly just face planted at the chaos. Though this food is amazing, Patton is a great cook.

"Do you two like it?" Patton asked, I nodded yes, and so did Virgil. Patton seemed joyous after seeing our answers.

...

We mostly stayed quiet eating, although there were some occasional "Dad Jokes" being thrown around by Patton, and we did have our normal conversations to catch up. I didn't have much to say though. Mostly because I was holding back quite alot.

.
.
.

"Thank you for the food, Patton."

"Your welcome kiddo!" Patton replied.

I simply nod back, and started to make my way to my room, however, Roman called me; "Hey Nerd? We're gonna have a movie night, gonna join for that too?"

...

"Yeah, sure. Why Not?"
