Patton clung to Roman as the two appeared in Roman's room. Sweat poured down Patton's scared face as Roman tried desperately to calm him down.

"Hey, calm down Patton, it's gonna be okay," he assured him. Upon lifting his chin up, Patton looked like he was on the verge of crying.

"I-I'm- I-" Patton sobbed unable to get a sentence out.

"Shh, take your time," Roman cooed locking eye contact with the crying boy. Patton took a deep shaky breath in before exhaling.

"H-he- Roman! He- it-it's... Roman! Back! Help! Virgil! A-after him! Roman!" Patton cried out grabbing onto Romans shoulders.

Roman wrapped his arms arms around Patton's shivering body steadying his breath so Patton could copy. It took time but Patton finally had his breathing under control. He pushed away from Roman and stood up straight looking Roman dead in the eyes.

"Deceit is here. We can't let him in."

Roman stared in shock as the once bubbly side was now as serious as Logan, fear in his eyes and sadness on his face. He could only nod as the two slowly sunk down back to the rest, Patton rising up behind Roman for protection. Roman instinctively putting an arm behind his back to hold Patton.

"Patton? Roman, is he okay?" Thomas asked looking up from Virgil.

"We think we might know what's going on," Roman spoke for Patton. Patton nodded sheepishly from behind him.

"Umm... Patton?" Virgil spoke up scaring Patton. Roman covered Patton completely now as Virgil attempted to touch him on the shoulder. "Patton, I'm sorry. I'm okay now."

"No! No you're not!" Patton cried once again knowing his friend was long gone by now.

"Come on out Patton," Virgil laughed mockingly. Roman growled grabbing Virgil by his arms and pushing him into the chair.

"Where is he Deceit?"

Deceit laughed, Virgil's face melting off to reveal the darker side of Thomas. Logan gasped, tears formed in his eyes. Was he crying? Impossible! He can't cry... at least he thought he couldn't.

"WHERE IS HE?" Logan demanded smashing his fist down on the side table.

Deceit only began to laugh louder clouding the others thoughts. 'I'm coming for you buddy' Logan thought as he began to sink down into Virgil's room. Virgil sat in the corner with his headphones on and curtains drawn. He jumped when he felt Logan's hand touch him.

"Logan?" he asked.

"How long have you been here?" Logan questioned moving his face inches from Virgil's.

"Ever since I woke up from the couch after I passed out... why?" Virgil sounded panicked now. His head felt heavy and his vision blurred. Panic attack. "Why!"

"Deceit's back" Logan answered.
