Patton didn't want to go to his room so instead, Janus made him take a nap on the couch. Janus had even summoned soft pillows and blankets to keep the moral side cozy. It would be a while till Patton would fall asleep, but at least now he could lay down and relax. Janus found Patton quiet adorable laying down, he looked so peaceful laying there.

Although Janus had to leave and go apologies to Roman. Janus shouldn' have called Roman evil. He'd just lashed out at Roman making fun of his name, Janus shouldn't have taken it personally. Roman still wasn't in the right to make fun of his name, but still. If Janus didn't apologize he doubted Roman would.
•<================================>•
Janus stopped in front of Roman's door to admire it. The door was white with a red frame, and there was a sign that said creativity in calligraphy. Janus knocked on the door. He heard shuffling around and the door cracked open. Roman stuck his head out. His eyes were puffy and bloodshot several tear stains ran down his cheeks. He glared at Janus standing there.

Looking up at Roman, who was quite a bit taller than Janus, was quite intimidating. "Hello Roman," Janus said trying to be polite. Roman didn't respond and continued his death glare.

Janus coughed awkwardly, "Thinking back on what I said, it wasn't very nice. And if I'm trying to be good now I should apologize. And I hope you can apologize for making fun of me as well."

Roman continued glaring before saying, "Well, Deceit, I'm not sure you being honest about trying to be good. All you've done to me is lie, why would you do anything else."

"I understand you not accepting me immediately, but could you please use my name. I told it to you for a reason."

"Well, last time I said your name I was evil."

Janus was tired of Roman's nasty attitude," Last time you said my name you were making fun of it, and I'm sorry yours views on good and evil are so fucked up, but I'm genuinely trying to help, so if your could man up and accept the apology we can move on and forget this ever happened."  Janus was moving closer to Roman pointing at him angrily. Roman's angry glare continued before he slammed his door in Janus' face.

When the door slammed shut it hit Janus straight in the nose. Janus opened his mouth in a silent scream as he reached his hand to hold his probably broken nose. Janus cowered away from the door, as he leaned on the wall, waiting for the pain to die down.

Virgil didn't immediately go to Logan's room. He wanted to grab his headphones first, so he could listen to music. Though the thought of his conversation with Roman was still bothering him. In retrospect he probably shouldn't have defended the snake, why defend someone you don't like? Virgil just understood the trouble of having an embarrassing name. Virgil though himself lucky the Roman hadn't laughed immediately at his name, unlike Janus.

Virgil found his phone and headphones. He hung the headphones around his neck and put his phone in his pocket, and made his way to Logan's room. On the way, he passed Roman's room. There wasn't any crying, that was good.

Eventually, Virgil was in front of Logan's door. It wasn't personalized at all, just a plain white door. Virgil knocked and heard some noises from inside. Then there was a loud thump like something falling off a bed, and footsteps towards the door.

The door opened just enough to see a frazzled looking Logan. His hair was a mess, and his tie was also undone slightly. "Uh, salutations Virgil, did you need something?"

"Patton just wanted to apologize for what happened in the video, but on a more important note, why do you look like a mess?" Virgil backed up a bit, and he looks surprised.

Logan shifted before answering, "Oh I hadn't noticed. If that's all I should be getting back to work," Logan moved to go back to his room before continuing, "oh and I'm probably not going to be fully functional for the next, two, three days."

"Wait what? Why?" Before Virgil could get an answer the door was closed. That was extremely strange, but Virgil shrugged it off and went back downstairs. When he got there he saw Janus and Patton sitting on the couch watching the TV. Patton appeared to be looking at his nose while holding a bloody tissue to it. Whatever had happened, Virgil didn't care.

"So is the snake just gonna leave eventually, or is he just gonna continue ruining our lives?"

"Virgil!"

"What Patton! You can't deny that I'm wrong, he's a dark side."

"Wow, Virgil how considerate of you. I thought you of all people would understand that people can change. Especially considers you were a 'Darkside'," Janus remarked.

"At least I haven't been plotting against the light sides since we were children! Admit it this is all some big plot to gain our trust and take over!"

"Both of you stop! There are no dark sides or light sides. We just have different ways of helping Thomas. This arguing isn't helping! Let's just put our differences aside!"

Virgil just glared back at Patton, "Wow Patton I never took you for a traitor, and to think I thought you wanted to be a family." Virgil then stormed out and went to his room.

Patton looked heartbroken, before looking over at Janus who had gone silent. His eyes were unfocused, and he wore a frown. "Janus, are you okay?"

"If fine Patton, I'm gonna go check Remus." Janus got up and left to the Darkside of the mindscape.

Patton sat now completely alone in the living room. Roman had broken Janus' nose, Virgil just said he wasn't family, and he had no idea how Logan was. Everything seemed to be falling apart right in front of him.
