Virgil's POV
*present time*

I got out of bed and looked around my room, well 'room'. In reality it was a living room but my friend was letting me crash here. (No you can't know the friends name, why in earth would you think I was creative enough to give names to side characters!) I looked at my phone, midnight, perfect. I quickly got off the sofa and walked to my friends room. Once there I listened closely to hear his breathing, asleep. I then walked into the bathroom and removed a loose tile from the flooring.
Inside the little hole was a mask, hoodie, combat boots, and a belt with gadgets on it. I slipped on the black hoodie and boots over my black pants. I then attached the belt to my waist and the mask to my face.
I stared into the mirror,contemplating wether it was a good idea to go out tonight.
You're hurting people, you need to stop.
You know full well why we can't. We have to keep them alive.
My thoughts battled in my head, I knew who was going to win so I decided not to listen any longer.
I left the bathroom and silently crept back into the living room, where I promptly opened a window and slipped out into a small ledge. I jumped from the apartment complex and onto a nearby roof.
I ran then, I ran and ran until I was out of the city. There I met him.
"You're late Anxiety." I cringed away from his voice. "Yeah well, this gets old you know. Meeting here ever night is a hassle." The shadow shifted, he was frustrated. "Look Anxiety, I don't honestly care about you think. I just want you to get the job done." I glared at the shadow but knew arguing was pointless. "Fine, who's the target tonight?" The shadow stayed quiet as he handed me a file.

Name- Taylor
Gender- Male
Occupation- Doctor
Reason of Death- Suffocation

I looked away from the file, already feeling sick. "Why suffocation? You know I hate it." I glared at the shadow as he chuckled. "My dear boy, you need to get over that, it was 20 years ago. Now go get the job done, you're close to completing your list." The shadow then melded into the others and was gone.

"Alright, let's go suffocate someone."
