Virgil sat at his bed playing animal crossing. He knew the others were filming a video, but Thomas seemed to be stressed enough without Virgil there. Plus he didn't really feel being on camera right now. Virgil was still trying to convince himself Thomas didn't see him as a dark side though that was hard.

Virgil was going to just stay there playing animal crossing when Roman burst in sobbing. Virgil was starting to regret not showing up. He was going to say something before Princey walked over and hugged him. He barely ever touched Virgil, so a hug was quite strange. Virgil awkwardly patted Roman on the back. When he seemed to calm down Virgil ask, "Alright Princey, care to tell me why you came into my room sobbing."

The tears seemed to come back as he tried to answer, "Deceit... name... evil." His words came out broken and fast. Although pricing them together it sounded like deceit had shown up. If that snake is the reason Princey was upset Virgil would personally rip him to shreds. He would never admit it, but he had a soft spot for the prince charming.

"Alright just breathe, and when your ready tell me what happened," he said. Virgil began running his finger in a circle across Roman's back. It was something that calmed him down and he hoped it would work with Roman. Eventually, Virgil heard his breathing even out and he began his story.

"Deceit showed up and I tried to help but I thought he was evil so I tried to get him to leave. Then Patton started siding with him, and so did Thomas. And suddenly they were against me, and everything started falling apart. Then Deceit said his name was Janus. And I impulsively laughed, then Thomas said I'm not his hero, and I'm the evil one now," at the end of that Roman had started crying again.

Virgil sighed, "Roman you are the farthest from evil, but you should've known not to agate him. Names are a touchy subject, I would know." Roman froze and stopped crying and looked me dead in the eyes.

"You don't care about me either!" He called outstanding as the tears came back, "I came here from the comfort from a light side. Not to get yelled at by a dark side!"

Virgil felt a piece of himself crack when he was called a dark side, so Virgil didn't respond and just looked away as Roman ran to his own room. Virgil probably should've followed Roman, but he didn't. Instead, he went down to see Patton and Deceit rise up chatting like they'd known each other their whole lives.

Patton turned to see Virgil standing at the bottom of the stairs. "Oh hey, kiddo have you seen Roman I've gotta talk to him. I think he took some of Janus' actions the wrong way." This didn't sound like what Roman had said at all.

"Well, I know that whatever Roman 'took the wrong way' hit him really hard considering I tried to defend Janus by saying he shouldn't have made fun of it. Then he called me a dark side." Patton and Janus froze shock that Roman would say that. Considering that Roman was the hero of the mindscape.

Janus was in shock that Roman would say such a thing, "I've made a mistake, I should leave..."

"No Janus you don't have to leave," Patton said grabbing his gloved hand, Patton turned to Virgil, "and Virgil, would you mind checking on Logan for me?"

"Alright then Pat," Virgil said wanting any excuse to get out of here.

Patton sighed, he was tired from all the issues he had to work through and really just wanted to take a nap. Janus noticed Patton's tiredness, "Patton you seem like you've had a really busy day. You should take a nap, and I'll check Roman for you. I have some things to apologize for."

Patton crossed his arms, "I need to apologize to Roman too. He wasn't there for my apology for being wrong, and I want him to know!"

"Patton, you obviously are worn out. Go take a nap or something. What kind of person would I be if I didn't follow what I preach? I will handle Roman alone, go take care of yourself." Patton sighed. It was strange having Janus tell him to take care of himself, someone he thought about an hour ago was trying to make Thomas an evil liar. This whole problem with Roman will be over tomorrow and they could all work together. Heck, maybe they'd even accept Remus.
