Roman couldn't- no scrap that- he could believe that they chose the snake over him. His facade had long been faltering and he had been a bish. He tried to hold back his desperate tears.

He decided to do what Virgil had once done, but with a twist. He summoned variously coloured sticky notes, each the colour of a side.

 He uncapped a pen and started writing his roles onto various ones.

 He gave his romance to Patton, his good creativity to Remus, his passion to Logan, the ego to Janus and the theatre love to Virgil.

 He bit his bottom lip and stuck them to his mirror, where the glowed and disappeared.

He locked the door and stuck a red sticky note to it.

 'Duck Out'

He sighed and said to himself, "I'll just cover my ears and block out their calls. They don't truly need me. It's just my room"
