"I can't... I can't believe you. How dare you!" Prince exclaimed, after hearing Anxiety's response to his "Can't you be nicer? Why can't you be more like me or Morality? It's not that hard!" comment.
Thomas looked confused. "Wait, why are you angry? You technically were the one to start this." he asked. Morality tried to shush Thomas and explain but it was too late.
"Me?! Me?! I started this? Anxiety started this years ago! Blame him!" Prince yelled.

Logic cut in. "Thomas, perhaps its better if we all.. explained?" "Ah, yeah, that would be good." Thomas replied. His eyes flicked to Prince, then Anxiety. Anxiety just looked.... subdued. Like he had given up a long time ago. It did not give Thomas a good feeling.
Morality spoke up, also looking worriedly at Anxiety and Prince. "Well... years ago, when you were in high school... oh wait, lets back up a little." Prince huffed.
Morality drove on. "So the features of your personality, like happiness and fear, are incorporeal. See I do know big words!" Logic nodded and gestured on. "Well they do exist in your mindscape as.... kinda.... Logic?" "They exist as incorporeal entities, as particles, if you can call them particles, spread out through the mindscape. But occasionally, these features become corporeal, similar to us. Anxiety, if i am correct, was/still is, one of these features" they all turn to look at Anxiety, Prince huffing again. He complained "But that's not the point-" "Please let Anxiety explain further" Logic interrupted. They all looked at Anxiety.

He panicked. "Uhhhhhhhhh." "Kiddo, you okay?" Morality asked. That snapped him out of it for the time being. "So I.. was? I think.. up until Thomas turned about thirteen, I was a feature. Before then, I was a part of Fear, another feature. I mean, I think, I don't know. Some features are connected to other features but have a smaller and more concentrated range of emotions/control, that sort of thing. I think I was just a smaller feature who had to listen to Fear?" Anxiety was rambling, unable to stop. Morality cut him off. "Okay, thanks kiddo, how about you relax now. I'll take it from here." "How about I do?" Logic queried. "Sure!" Morality replied.
"So basically, up until thirteen years of age, Anxiety was a feature and" Thomas jumped in " And there was only the three of you?" "Not.. exactly. There was another former feature that arrived shortly after Prince did, to help with performing. His name was Confidence. He used to just be a feature, working in the background, completely invisible and incorporeal, except now, he was needed in the 'front line' to help keep your.. well, help keep your confidence up." Prince and Anxiety's eyes were watering,  though neither would ever admit it. Thomas had a feeling it had something to do with the name 'Confidence'. 'Was that the word that freaked Prince out anyway?' he thought.
Logic had paused, trying to choose how to go on. He glanced at Prince then stated "Prince and Anxiety better do the rest" "Why me?!" Anxiety asked, shocked. "You were there. You were best friends after all, were you not?" Logic responded. Anxiety shut up after that, looking like he was going to avoid speaking as much as possible.
"I may as well start then" Prince decided. "Confidence appeared a little while after me. We were the best of friends. But Confidence was always... he was always" Prince broke down, sobbing. "He was, he was. He had a lingering-" he couldn't stop sobbing as he tried to struggle through his words. "He had always a lingering feel of, of fear. I, I, i appear around three years old, after Thomas first Disney movie. But Confidence, he, he appeared around" Prince's stuttering would not stop. "Around four. We couldn't really... talk properly back then but he tried to tell me about this friend he had. He described something like Anxiety, guess. Another feature. Before Confidence, before he arrived-" Logic stepped in.
"What Prince is trying to say, I think, is that before Confidence, we were led by a blind need for food or to learn or for any other reason. Any brazenness was a product of that." Prince continued. "Yes, I meant that. But the point was, we were best friends for years, and then Anxiety showed up and ruined it!"
"I didn't ruin anything! It's not my fault I exist! From the sounds of it, someone was gonna appeared either way, what with the sense of fear you got!" Anxiety fought back against Prince's words, who tried to combat him.
