The two looked around the darkness, keeping the others between them. Depression and Rage knew that voice all too well and was not in a mood to deal with the owner of said voice. Roman was suspicious about how the two were acting.

"Roman, take the group and run the rest of the way. I'll deal with Insanity--" Rage was cut off by Depression. 

"We are not doing that again! He almost killed you last time!" Depression argued. The rest of the group was already following Rage's command. Roman waited for Myles, not wanting to risk anyone getting hurt.

"I'll be fine, My, I promise. But just in case something happens to me," Rage gave Depression a kiss, shocking the smaller boy. "I love you. Now go with Roman and help guide the others!"

Depression touched his tingling lips and allowed Roman to drag him off. Roman saluted Rage as he ran.

Rage nodded with a determined look and began to listen for the sounds of nails scraping against the wall.

"The gig is up Insanity, come out!" Rage demanded.

"One, two Inny is coming for you. Three, four better lock your door," The voice giggled as the sounds of nails scraping against a surface echoed through the darkness.

Roman ushered the group to hurry. They followed Depressions lead to their destination since he was the one who knew the way. Virgil helped Patton keep up since the father figure was shaking in fear.

They stopped upon hearing loud footsteps in the darkness. Four glowing eyes stared at them but kept switching places. Insecurity hid behind Virgil and Patton while Depression glared into the darkness.

"R-Roman, now would be a good time to show us your sword skills..." Patton stuttered. He held onto Virgil as Depression grabbed Insanity. Virgil held onto Insanity's other hand, which caused them to create a link.

"Myles, be a dear and take them the rest of the way. I'll hold whatever monster lies beneath the darkness," Roman stated as he kept track of where the eyes were moving. Depression nodded and took off, still holding onto Insanity. 

The four boys left Roman to fight off the evil in the darkness.

Self Doubt's state was getting worse due to everyone having doubting thoughts. Even so, the dark prince had managed to get to his feet despite his vision being clouded by tears and words echoing in his head. He grabbed his dagger and tried not to fall over. 

"Romeo! Oh Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?" Self Doubt mimicked a feminine voice to further act like Juliet. "I would be alive if it weren't for you, Romeo!"

Despair snickered quietly at Self Doubt's act but helped Logan move Deceit to a corner in the back of the cell. The two sides knew that they shouldn't mess with Self doubt when his eyes were red; especially when they were almost as red as his sash.

"Do not bring your death upon me, dear Juliet, for our love is what caused your death." the voice from before stated. The Side revealed itself in the darkness, his eyes glowing green. "Romeo shall always have his Juliet."

"You don't have to be like this Romeo! You can be good again," Self Doubt tried to reason. It was something similar to what Despair had told him when the two had first met.

"Oh ho ho. Is that so? Then why are you still a jerk?" Romeo, or Envy, asked. Self Doubt flinched, partially from the question and partially from feeling like he was kicked.

"Because that's what they made me to be."
