Nick's POV:
Tommy let go, slowly, looking down at my shoes. "Tommy are you okay?" I wanted him to be alright.
"I am now." Tommy started to smile, still looking down, though.
"Don't worry about me, I know you are. I'll be fine, Nick," Tommy didn't look at me, our exchange was eyeless. "I guess right now, we don't exactly see 'eye-to-eye'."
"Tommy, this is no laughing matter. 'Eye' can 'see' right through you."
"That sounds like a serious eye problem, maybe you should get 'laser eye surgery'."
"You should 'watch' yourself, Tom." We were both holding back our laughter. "I am, after all, everyone's sansei."
"But, I was your star 'pupil'." Tommy's shoulders were shaking.
I folded my arms. "Tommy."
"I know, my jokes don't get anymore 'cornea' than this." Tommy was done with holding it back, his cute laughter filled my office.
"Tom." My face was stern. 
"If 'view' insist. I'm sorry. I'm done now." Tommy gestured me down with his hands. "By the way, Nick, do you know any good cyclops puns? 'Eye' only know one."
I was laughing now, trying not to. "Tom, put a 'lid' on it."
Tommy Copied me, he crossed his arms and put on a stern face. "Fine. It's  'blindingly' obvious you don't like my puns."
"Don't worry, Tom, I'll think of a 'punishment'." I chuckled.
"No, Nick, no. We're done now." Tom, playingly, became stern.
"Oh, fine." I agreed.
The door bursted opened. "Nick." Cory held his phone, tears glistening in the light. "Come here."
"Okay..?" Why can't Tommy come?
Cory closed the door. He waited for a bit, hearing for Tommy. "Uni's dead."
"What?! How? Why?" Tears came.
"His parents won't say." Cory fiddled with his phone. "He hung himself, last night. But, there was a suicide note. I requested to his parents for it to be read at the funeral."
"Out of everyone in our group, Uni was the first to go." I couldn't get a grasp on what was happening to us.
Why is everyone slowly going insane?
Tommy's POV:
Everything was faint, mumbling. A few words canes together in my mind.
Uni
More mumbling
Hanged
And more mumbling
Last night
And even more mumbling
Uni hung himself last night...
