  Patton was suddenly awake. He looked out the window. Darkness. He tried to fall back asleep, but his room was overwhelming him. Patton felt dreadful, which became worse when he thought about the video recorded yesterday.

He couldn't be in his room anymore. Patton stood up quickly, almost falling over, and quietly opened his door. He rushed downstairs quietly, not asking anyone to sleep in their room because they would wake up, and Patton didn't want to bother them. He sat down at the table they all ate at, not bothering to try to sleep? He rest his head on the table, and began to cry.

Virgil was still awake, listening to music. In the middle of The Ghost Of You, he felt something was off. Virgil removed is headphones, hearing footsteps going down the stairs. He nervously stood up and opened his door, rushing to Roman's room, and pushed the door open.

"oh, it's you, Jack Smellington. Why have you interrupted my slumber?". Virgil rolled his eyes at the nickname, and explained. "Something's wrong, I can tell. I heard footsteps going down the stairs.". Roman's eyes widened. "We must investigate.", he said, grabbing his sword. Virgil nodded.

The two walked slowly and quietly down the stairs. Roman had his sword ready, and Virgil walked behind him. Roman got to the bottom of the stairs, looking around in the dark. "I can't see anything, what about you Virgil?". The prince got no response. "Virgil?", he whispered. He looked behind him, to see Virgil pointing at the table. "Over there. It's Patton.".
