Erased - Analogical

[Chapter Twelve]

|POV Remus|

<Flashback>

"Janus!" I screeched through the Dark Mind Palace frantically, trying to find the deceptive trait as soon as possible. After a few minutes of yelling and searching, I chose just to break down his work room door, he was probably in there listening to his music on that weird vinyl record player like he usually was when I couldn't find him.
Low and behold, I was correct & he was sat at his desk with a book open infront of him. Glancing over to the door in confusion, he raised an eyebrow, placing a bookmark on the page he currently held open, "Remus... what do you need? There's better ways to get my attention than breaking down my door."

"Duh, I tried that but you weren't answering! Anways, that's not important!" I continued to speak in a panicked yet excited yell, "yanoo that minor side we've been talking to and hanging out with a lot?"

"Paranoia, yes, I'm familiar with him?"

"I think he's becoming a main trait!" I accused, "I took him to wait in my part of the imagination without the other minor traits, but he's gaining his own colour and I literally feel even more paranoid around him! Which means his aura is growing even stronger and soon it'll be enough to effect Thomas without another side getting the chance to interrupt or stop it! Which makes him a main trait!"
The thing with minor traits is, of course they can effect Thomas, but it's extremely easy for any other main trait to override their effects and cancel them out. For example, if the minor trait 'anger' tried to effect our host but Logan or 'Logic' as he's known more officially disagreed with that, he could cancel our angers effects. But it would be extremely hard for someone like Logan to cancel out my effects as I'm a main trait.

"You're being serious here-?" Janus asked cautiously.

"Of course! When am I ever not serious?"

"I see..." he closed the book and stood from his desk, "bring him in here for me?"

"Jeeeez, I'm not your slave but ok, unless that's what you're into~" I chuckled and dashed out of they room as fast as I could before Janus had the chance to throw a book at me.

I made my way out and into my imagination, the area I had left Paranoia in was like a haunted forest that I made up while Thomas was young. Apparently it had been featured in lots of his nightmares, but that's an issue for Roman or Remy, not me!

By the time I found him, he was pushed up with his back against a tree, on a ball on the ground.
"Paranoia-?" I called out and approached him. He was visibly shaking ever so slightly as he hesitantly looked up at me.

HOLY SHIT. He had six eyes-? That was definitely something he did not have when I left. Not to mention his clothes had developed a clear purple colour. Another thing about the minor sides, they didn't have their own unique colour. The minor dark sides all adorned black as a colour and the minor light sides wore white. The main sides all had their own respective colour, those being green, yellow, red, light blue & dark blue, and now I guess also purple for paranoia.

He wore a formal-ish vest suit, the button up shirt underneath being a deep black with the actual vest ontop being a dark violet shade.

"S-s-sorry... a-after you left I don't know what happened but... M-my clothes started changing colour and..." he started to stutter out, "a-and my eyes... I-I don't know why I have so many! I'm s-sorry."
