A Forced Love

He is not in his room. If I have to turn this house upside-down to find Logan, I will. I run into the others rooms, slowly building up the courage to go into Anxiety's room. He is lying on the bed, empty bottle if pills beside him.
'no. He fucking wouldn't.'
I feel the rage build up inside me. He was not leaving us too.

I pick him up and run to the bathroom, trying to make him throw up the pills. After a full five minutes of trying, he finally throws up the contents of his stomach, regaining consciousness while doing so.

After he was revived, I shouted at him. He had to know that we needed him, equally as much as we needed anxiety... But at least anxiety died to keep us safe.

Patton and I decide to clean anxiety's room and put all his stuff in a box. And that's when we see a strange DVD case under his bed. We look at eachother suspiciously and I summon a television and put the disc inside. It takes a couple of seconds to read, then the video plays and it shows... Him...
'aeron' i whisper. He deeply inhales, then he talks.
'when you see this, I will most likely be dead, otherwise you broke into my room somehow, because no one can come in my room.' he laughs nervously and scratches the back of his neck. He seems nervous about something, but I don't know what...
'there is a reason I made this, and it's a big reason too. You three all knew me as aeron, or anxiety... But, that was not my name. The reason you never knew my name is because, honestly, I was embarrassed by it. But, here goes. My name... My name is...'
He takes a deep breath. He looks at the camera, with a tear running down his cheek.
*spoilers for new video*
'my name is... Virgil.'
