Virgil's POV-

Roman's head flung back, then he covered his nose with his hand, blood dripping through the cracks in his fingers.
"Feisty." He said in a cool voice, "Didn't expect you to actually punch me."
"Where is Roman?!" I shouted at him.
"You don't get it, do you?!" He yelled back at me, growl in his voice.
"I am CORRUPTION. This is what I DO. I CORRUPT."
"I thought we got rid of you!"
He lowered his eyes. "You did."
The realization hit me. That's why he didn't appear in his physical form. Sure, we'd killed his physical form last time, but you can't get rid of something like him. He's not... He's not an emotion. He's not a disorder. He's a glitch. A malfunction. And he shouldn't be here. His spirit lived on. He had possessed Roman. Prince was right in front of me.
"Give Prince his body back!" Thomas yelled.
"What do you want with us?" I asked.
"I want to corrupt. I want to pollute. But this wasn't my idea. No, no, no. It was all her plan. She wanted to continue it through me. She could have before, should have. But she didn't . She is quiet now."
"Who are you talking about?"
"What's wrong with Patton?" I interrupted. "Why isn't he talking?"
"Sybil, would you mind forming for me?"
"Sybil?!" Thomas and I cried in unison.
A yellow light burst through Morality's eyes and mouth, enveloping him in light and forcing us to look away.
A woman emerged from the light that had appeared next to Patton, causing Morality to fall to his knees.
"Patton!" Logan cried, rushing to the moral side, and wrapping his arms around him.
"Who's 'Sybil?'" Thomas questioned.
"You're so dense." Corruption said cooly. "She's been here the whole time, watching, waiting. She was here before Patton. But none of you noticed her. Her name is Silence."
"How is that even relatively possible? How could we not have noticed her all this time? Silence isn't an emotion!" Logic shouted, still cradling the unconscious Morality.
"She was unwanted." He continued, oblivious to Logan's outburst. "Her original plan was suicide, making you all hurt for what you'd done to her. But then I found her, and we became fast friends. Now we corrupt. Together. I love her, and after all of you are dead,  I can have my own body back and we can live outside of the mind."
"Outside of the mind? Are you insane?" Logan yelled.
"Slightly, yes. But that's aside the point.  Su never tried to kill himself. He never even self harmed."
"How-" I started.
"Don't interrupt me! Sybil forced him to do it to himself, threatening he would hurt everyone else if he didn't comply. Brilliant tactic, if you asked me. Her planning was that if Suicidal Thoughts died, it would make Anxiety not anxious, killing off Thomas' anxious thoughts. This would lead Logan to do the most logical option in that situation, which would be perfect, getting all of you out of the house. Thomas was braindead for a day because you were all somewhere else. Honestly, a stupid idea that played into our hands. We had days to ourself, days of planning. Until Su woke up. He didn't even die! It had us outraged! And then Virgil came back, and our plan fell apart. We had to think of something quick."
The room was dead silent. Silence? She was here the whole time? I guess we never noticed her because she was mute. She was Silence, after all. But- that doesn't make any sense. Where did she come from? Silence isn't an emotion. This couldn't have happened. No. They had to be lying.
A/N- Okay, so WOAH! A lot happened!! What do you think? What could be happeni&3@3:'bdndjauah.
