Third's P.O.V:

"Charlie, do I want to know why Amber's bakery equipment is in the Hotel's kitchen?

"um... Well... she didn't tell me why, Vaggie."

"Okay, well, That's not important. We need to talk about Ian. He hasn't eaten or even talked to anyone. It's starting to worry everyone, Including Alastor. And you know how Alastor loves anyone suffering."

"I mean... Amber said she would take care of it," Charlie said, looking at Vaggie and trying to stay calm. However, it was clear that Charlie was worried about Ian. She didn't know what to do. She tried talking to Ian, but he kept pushing her away. She tried talking to Amber about it, but it was clear that Amber was trying to stay strong for everyone.

Vaggie sighed and gently took Charlie's hand before gently squeezing it and said, "It's going to be okay, sweetie. If you want, I can talk to Amber about this. You can talk to Ian. Sound okay?" Charlie's eyes turn to the stars, and she nods before gently squeezing Vaggie's hands and saying, "Thank you! I would love that! I'll go talk to Ian right now!" Charlie quickly ran off, and Vaggie sighed before she smiled at Charlie's happy face and walked to the kitchen to see Amber baking with many different types of desserts all over the kitchen, to the point that it was like a whole store of desserts.

Holy shit... I don't know if I should be impressed or worried. Vaggie thought to herself before sighing and coughing to get Amber's attention. Amber looked at Vaggie, and Vaggie frowned, seeing how tired Amber looked before Vaggie said, "Listen, We need to talk. Charlie's already worried about Ian, and you keep giving Charlie half-assed answers. You need actually to do something and not pretend everything is fine." Amber looked at Vaggie, and Vaggie saw her eyebrow twitch a bit before Amber sighed and said, "Do you know why I am doing nothing, Miss Vaggie?"

"No. I don't. Why should that even-"

"Because he will eventually open up to someone. I know you all are worried about him. But he will be okay. He just learned that he wasn't even supposed to exist. He needs to get used to this fact, and once he does, he will come to one of us and speak. He is scared. Tell me, Miss Vaggie, how would you feel if you were in Ian's shoes?"

"I...I don't-"

"You would understand his pain then. Until then, stop hounding Ian and myself. It won't do any good. Now, kindly get the fuck out of my kitchen." Amber said, looking at Vaggie before gently pushing Vaggie out of the kitchen. Vaggie looked confused and looked back at the kitchen before she saw Amber sitting at the table, holding her head. She saw how tired Amber was. 

Vaggie was confused but nodded and walked to the front desk to see Charlie looking defeated. "That bad, sweetie?" Vaggie said, hugging Charlie's side, and Charlie sighed before she said, "I tried to talk to him, but he wouldn't even let me try to help him. He pushed me out of his room when I begged him to come out and eat something. He looked so weak. I don't know what to do."

"Here's an idea: give him some space. He won't open if you keep pushing, Charlie."

"Not helping Betty."

"What? It works for me," Betty said, sitting at the bar and looking at Vaggie while Cain held her. Cain looked at Betty and smiled at how his rockstar always had a voice. It made his heart warm, and he enjoyed their time together. They always did guitar battles in the Hotel, which always ended up as a draw. 

Cain smiled, remembering the one time they broke the windows, and it took Amber and Alastor taking their guitars away, grounding them like children. Cain chuckled at the memory, and Betty looked at him with a confused look before he shook his head no. "Well, there must be something we can do. Ian can't just stay in his room all the time!" Charlie said, looking worried, before Vaggie sighed and said, "Okay, Betty. What do you suggest?"
