Roman's POV

"Remus?!? What are you doing here? Why are you here? Crap what did you do? I'm not bailing you out of jail again!" "Well isn't that a warm welcome, and you haven't bailed me out of jail yet. I know how to not get caught, give me some credit," he chuckled before falling to the ground. Like he actually just flopped off the branch and onto the moss-covered ground. "Still haven't answered my question, Remus," I huffed and began to tap my foot in an irritated manner. "Jeez alright, lighten up bro! Can't I just see my brother again without being interrogated?" I gave him a 'you serious right now?' look to which he just shrugged and looked around. Actually now that I studied him, he seemed off. His skin was really pale, his eyes kept darting around, and he looked horrible, well, more horrible than normal. His usually trashy outfit was more torn than normal and he smelt like he had been living in a cave for at least a year. "Hey, um, are you.....good?" He jumped slightly at my voice before quickly nodding, "YEP, everything is great! Hey so do you wanna go get something to eat or like go sit somewhere.....in the sun, AWAY from all these creepy shadows. Hey did you hear the theory that shadows are watching you? Crazy right!" He suddenly went back to crazy mode and began babbling about weird theories as he began, supposedly, out of the woods. 'Okay, so he's officially insane. Or he's afraid, but why would he be afraid of shadows.....odd.'

<Time Skip> (Doing this again cause it's fun!)

We went to a nearby fast-food place called Out-N-In Burger which was really good, but we didn't stay to eat there because Remus would jump at every moving shadow. Eventually, though, we made it to a nice and sunny park with no trees or people which Remus deemed a good enough place to eat. We sunk into the soft grass and began to eat but an uncomfortable silence filled the space. However once Remus was done with his burger, he turned to me. "So how you been? How's little Morality doing, or that boring Logic, how's he?" Remus began to ramble again and started talking crazy....so I slapped him. "REMUS! What Is Wrong!?! I know you and you only ramble when you're nervous, so what's wrong?" I slowly lowered my voice from an angry tone to a softer one, like you would a child. He looked at me for a moment before he started crying and throwing a temper-tantrum. "You always yell at meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Ijust wantedtotellyouthatVirgilwasindangerandDeeisusinghimforbadthingsandthegovermnetisbeing meanandyou'rebeingmeanandifyoudon'thurryhe'lldie!"
(Don't worry about translating, I did it for you)
"What.....on earth....did you just say? Please, speak a little slower." "I just wanted to tell you that Virgil was in danger and Dee is using him for bad things and the government is being mean and you're being mean and if you don't hurry he'll die!"

".......................oh...................."
