After a day spent with the others, Anxiety ended up quite tired. All day he'd just been talking, getting to know the others and letting them get to know him - but it was getting late and most of them had gone back to their rooms by now. Anxiety made his way into the kitchen to make something to eat, having forgotten to have anything earlier in the day. He started preparing a sandwich when Morality came in. A crash as something dropped to the floor, and then Morality was running over to him.

"Stop! Anxiety please!"

"What?" He turned around to see Morality with tears streaming down his face and pieces of broken plates littering the floor. He followed Morality's eyes, looking down at his own hands. He gasped slightly as he realised what the other was thinking, and dropped the knife he was holding to make his food with.

"Please... I failed you before and I didn't know what was happening- or maybe I did but I didn't do anything about it and I'm not going to let anything happen again so please-"

"Patten! Hey," Anxiety interrupted the inner monologue that the other seemed to be having, rushing over to him as he dropped onto his knees is the sea of porcelain pieces, sobbing quietly. "It's ok! I'm fine, I swear. I was just making something to eat, you don't need to worry about me."

"Yes I do! I so do, ok? I mean, you've been feeling so low for so long and I did nothing about it! I never even said anything to Prince about the way he treated you! And to think I'm supposed to be the 'father' of this group..."

Anxiety sighed. Maybe this had affected the others more than he thought it would. He knew they would feel guilty, but he didn't think it would last. Soon enough it would be back to normal. Maybe people cared more than he gave them credit for.

And yet you still acted so selfishly.
