"Ugh! Of course! Thomas?" Logan scoffed, realizing his error in his request to enter Patton's room.

"Uh-huh?" Thomas happily looked at the CD player that held his beloved love for Pink's first album.

"It might not have been the best idea for you to come here," Logan quickly informed Thomas. He hit his head lightly, feeling the shame well up inside him. "Ugh, such a foolish oversight on my part! You are a habitual warrior."

"Yes, I think we established that quite a long time ago, Specs." Roman said, confused by Logan's sudden realization.

"Oh, is that, uh, is that bad for my room?" Patton began to worry, looking around nervously between the two.

"Well, I didn't think Thomas was too different from others but Anxiety almost always has a seat at the table when he makes any decision." Logan informed, pointing towards Virgil. "So, I would say he would worry more than whag is consider the norm."

"Okay, but that still doesn't explain-" Thomas tried but was cut off by Logan.

"I know I told you that nostalgia can cause people to be more optimistic about their future, BUT! For habitual worriers, nostalgia can have an adverse effect on their overall mood. It can sometimes cause them to look at the past compared to the present period in their lives and cause them to ruminate even more on how their present present situation "pales in comparisons" however incorrect that outlook mighy be." Logan said with with hand movements before finally urging them to look at Virgil. "Their Anxiety worsens."

"Virgil, that's not happening, right?" Thomas gave a nervous smile, eyes flickering back from Logan to Virgil.

Virgil hesitated before a demonic voice said, "N-no." But he found himself clasping a hand over his mouth.

"I'm going to take that as a yes." Logan said urgently, hurrying to get everyone to leave before the situation worsen. "Let's go; it's time to end this experiment-"

"Wait wait wait, we can't go now!" Roman cut him off abruptly. "We haven't even started reminiscing about all the Broadway shows he's seen!"

"And all these old photos! Look at this!" Patton awed, flipping through the photos in his hands. Logan felt his heartbeat increase, beginning to find himself anxious as he desperately tried to convince everyone to back out of the room.

It didn't help when Thomas refused as well. "They're right! Logan, we can't leave now; there's still too much to look through!"

"I don't understand this." Logan let out an exasperated sigh. He getting frustrated with them. "What is the worth of making memories if they don't spur you on to create new ones?  I..I am familiar with this...whole ordeal's orgin but it is in the past Thomas, it makes no sense to-"

"Logan, just..." Thomas stopped him, obviously wanting to talk about it and ignore what was wrong. Rather yearning to distract himself than face the problem head on. He grabbed a blue paper book and flipped through the pages quickly. "It's...fine, It's fine."

"But if you would only heed-" Logan tried to reason with Thomas.

"Oh shush, sub-astube teacher!" Roman insulted him as usual, switching through flyers.

And he broke.

"All of this because Patton can't let go of one person?" Logan said, finally snapping with all the frustration and overwhelming insults tipping him over.
