Love and Loss

Chapter 16

When Logan reappeared in the dark side of the mindscape, he was overall pleased with his performance. He would be lying if he said that he wasn't still mad about the nerve of others saying that they listened to him. Before he could dive further into that spiral of hate, he felt two pairs of arms around his torso. Smiling, Logos said "Remus, what have I told you about sneaking up on people?" The two arms suddenly turned into three pairs of arms. "Hmmm why don't you try again~" "Janus" Logos sighed happily, leaning back into his touch. "How was your meeting?" "It went... decent" "Hmmm?" "Well," Logos chucked, "they definitely heard what I had to say" "that's good is it not?" "No, it is... but then they also insisted they listened to me before my switch" "oh." "Yeah, I sort of lost it after that..." "Understandable, want to relax in your room?" "Please"

For the next few interactions, the other sides, excluding Remus and Dee, were wary to approach Logos, and in Virgil's case, outright rude. Logos understood their perspective however, so he didn't take much offense. For all they knew he had just come out of the blue and replaced the spot of someone whom they considered their "friend", despite how much they used to disregard said friend. Logos' appearance had interrupted their routine, they suddenly lacked a sense of normalcy, and they knew nothing would be the same again. The days turned into weeks, and the weeks turned into months before Logos and the other light sides had their next meeting. Thomas had summoned Patton, Roman, and Virgil to discuss a trip that Thomas had been invited to by one of his friends. From what Logos had gathered before he popped up, Thomas had been offered the opportunity to go to New York to watch Broadway performances but he had numerous prior commitments and was behind on his work that week in addition to not knowing the friend that well.
"So Roman, I know what your going to say-" "Thomas, you have been given the chance to see live. Broadway. musicals. Why is this even up for debate!" Thomas started to reply but Patton cut him off, "And kiddo you'd get to spend some time with a friend that you haven't spent a lot of time with! How fun would that be!" "That is true..." "Thomas," Virgil started. "Do you know how stressful this whole ordeal would be? You have to fly up to New York with a person you don't know all that well. You'd be stuck in a confined space with them. Do you know how quickly they'd get annoyed with you? Thomas-" It was at this moment Logos chose to appear. "Thank you for the invite," Logos said sarcastically. "I do have to say that I agree with Virgil on this one, you are severely behind schedule for your work. If you were to go on this trip the amount of work that you'd have to quickly upload and film would decrease in quality," Logos pointed at Roman, "and it would heighten your anxiety" Logos then gestured to Virgil. Thomas contemplated the decision for a moment, he looked as if he was about to agree but before he could utter a word Virgil said, glaring at Logos, "do you know what, never mind, you should go" Logos looked at Virgil, absolutely exasperated. "Virgil, I am literally agreeing with you." "I know," Virgil hissed. "That's why I think Thomas should go, if you agree then it's definitely the wrong choice not to go" "Virgil I am Logic, your statement makes zero sense" Roman summoned a bowl of popcorn and passed it over to Patton. Patton took some and offered it to Thomas who politely refused.
