Guardian had Silencer in his arms, holding her down and in one place. She had tried to attack again, but this time she was stopped before the incident. Historia had recovered and was now placed on the complete opposite side of the cell to the different girl. Eyes lay back still with Fox and Vines right by his side.

There was a low growl as the little girl slipped a hand free and nailed her tall friend in the stomach with an elbow, then twisting to put her foot behind his knee and try to trip him. He had grunted and half doubled over, though didn't move otherwise. He grabbed her arm again and yanked her back, spinning her and throwing her to the ground. She hissed in pain and tried to scramble to her feet, but the boy was on top of her, pinning her down. Then there was a loud smack.

"Snap out of it!" Guardian screamed.

Silence.

2 minutes passed.

Then there was sobbing. Everyone else was still on their toes, prepared for the next attack. It never came. The tall siren moved off of his "sister" and she immediately curled up, holding herself and shaking violently. He carefully grabbed her and pulled her into his lap, holding her close and rubbing her back gently. The others seemed to calm down a little bit, though they were still on edge.

"I'm s-so sorry," she hiccupped out, "I don't know what happened!"

Historia now shifted and made her way over cautiously, then crouching. She stared at her friend for what seemed like hours before shaking her head and hugging her. "It… can't be your fault. You were never like this before, so it had to have been what they put in you."

Forgiving something like this was hard, but she knew that Silencer wouldn't have done that at her own will. She wasn't like that. Right? She shook away the bad thought and tried to calm down entirely.

"We should sleep."

"I'll stay by her," Guardian said quickly, arms around Silencer already. He lay her down and then plopped beside her. Fox and Vines gave each other looks, not trusting the girl as much any more, but decided to lay back and get Eyes to sleep again. Historia laid back near them and tried to sleep as well.

The slime girl waited until everyone was asleep to raise up the triclops' shirt and check that spot. What she saw nearly made her shake the others awake.

The pastel green had turned neon and there were little blotches of it outside his skin now. The circle had become bigger and was darker. Something was happening and she didn't like it. She laid awake the rest of the night, watching over him and the spot.
