"Virgil?"

I turned around.

He was there.

I ran to him.

But I ran through him.

"What the-?" I looked at him,
"I, uh, I'm a hallucination."
"What?"
"You, you know how Logan has telepathy?"
"Yeah?" I sighed,
"I'm telling him everything I'm telling you right now, and he's telling you through a hallucination, Logan is telling me everything. It's really hard to explain right now. But, I'm not dead. Yet, at least. Deceit has me. But, uh, the reasons why I'm here, they, uh, they're important.

I'm in a house near that forest we were at, it's... it's painted yellow. I think it's wooden?"

"The second thing?" I asked softly, sitting down,

He sighed, "I, I REALLY LIKE YOU! M-More then a, uh, more than a friend..."

I gasped.

He liked me?

I felt my broken heart be stitched up.

"I do too."
"Really?"
"Yeah."

I froze.

"But you're dead!"
"No, I'm not... once they went, I was revived by Deceit."
"If you are Virgil, what did I sing to you?!"
He sighed.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head, and I cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.

I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all one day.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away."

I froze.

"You never finished though..."
