Deceit paced his room endlessly. He could hear the other sides, talking and chatting happily. He just wanted to deliver Logan's doll unseen. Movie night, apparently. He just wanted to sleep.
They sounded so happy, almost tempting him to peek out to see exactly how happy they are. Happy that he's out of the way, that he's leaving them alone. He's not even a thought in their mind, he means nothing to him.
His hands were beginning to shake from the down spiraling thoughts. This is why he kept sewing. Keep his thoughts focused away from the dark. It hurt. It hurt so much. He felt so so alone. His only friend was Joy. A plush snake he made, he gave her life. He meant to treat her like a real snake, not a human and his only friend and comfort.
How pathetic is that?

Tears began to spill. He briefly wondered how he managed to cry so much

Why should he be surprised. It's all he's good at. Tears streamed faster as he leaned against the door. He couldn't hear the others anymore. He could finally deliver Logan's doll.
Pathetic
It's a menial task, he could handle it. As long as no one saw him. Deceit slowly cracked the door open, wiping away tears and peering down the hall. Empty. He slowly crept into the hall, tip toeing silently and holding the small doll close. Carefully, oh so carefully, he placed the doll against the door handle. Wiping his tears once again despite the still ongoing flow, he took off back into his room in panic.
Virgil watched silently from behind a corner, although watching from the dark. He saw enough to be suspicious.
