- I still don't know what to think about this! - Charlie said.
- It doesn't look good - Jack added.
Leo approached his friends and tried to talk to them, to no avail. Unfortunately, he could do nothing but listen to the excuses that everyone except Lily and Jack threw around. Lily tried to calm them down.
- Okay, we don't have to fight like this, I know Noah is dead, and Max and Theo are wanted, but we can't give up like this. After all, Freddy came to us to ask for help, not to someone else.
- Noah was the most important to me! - Stella screamed.
- And admitting it, Freddy came to Leo, not to us. Let Leo handle this, not us - Charlie decided.
- Me? I did everything to you, and this is how you repay me?
- I don't care! - Stella couldn't take it anymore.
- I admit the truth Charlie. Freddy came to you Leo, don't throw us in this hole - Jack said without emotion.
Leo looked around nervously. He knew he had to say something. He slowly began to form words in his head.
- And we don't even know where Freddy is! - Charlie admitted.
- And Noah's dead! - Stella added.
- Max and Theo are missing - Jack confirmed.
- And if Leo can't see that, he's a delusionist!
Leo finally couldn't take it anymore.
- A delusionist? Of course I am! - he yelled.
The others fell silent, surprised at Leo's first outburst of anger.
- Do you know how hard it is for me right now? Max and Theodore are gone, Noah's dead, tomorrow is the anniversary of my mother's death, Freddy's missing, I had a fight with my father and William is somewhere in the darkness! He can't think rationally in a situation like this!
The others said nothing, just continued to stare at their friend.
- True, I may be a delusionist. But it's the only personality I have, and I'm proud of it!  You can't change that, and my life is already hard enough. Just don't give me any more problems!
Leo walked away with a confident step, leaving Lily, Jack, Stella, and Charlie alone.
He knew what he had to do. He had to find his friends today. Find Theo and Max.
