"N-no that can't be right. G-Grian would tell my if something was wrong" A very nervous Mumbo stuttered out. Grian couldn't be depressed could he? Then X spoke up.
"Some one find me a note/book that Grian wrote. If we can match up the hand writing that will prove it's Grian." Ren handed Xisuma a note that Grian wrote telling to meet up at the Hippy Commune. Xisuma looked at the note, looked at the book and went pale.
"....it's Grian"

Mumbo raced to his feet and was flying out of the meeting room to search for Grian. Many of the hermits followed him and started to call his name. 1 hour later Scar found Grian crying behind Sahara.
"G-Grian, is that you?" Scar called out to the young hermit and caught his attention. His legs to his chest, arms wrapped around him and tears staining his cheeks, he was a wreck. Scar kneeled down next to Grian and hugged him, telling him that it was going to be okay. Grian just sat there and cried into Scar's shoulder.
"Calm down Grian, it will be okay, we are all here for you. We all love you, especially Mumbo."
Grian continued to cry as Scar pulled out his communicator to tell everyone he had found Grian.

GoodtimeswithScar: I found him crying behind Sahara
FalseSymmetry: Is he okay, is he hurt????
Joehills: I have a healing kit, do you need me to come???!!!
Mumbo: I am on my way there right now!
Iskall: Should I come too?!
GoodtimeswithScar: Guys! Calm down, only Mumbo should come, he is extremely upset, I don't think he is hurt but people crowding him won't do any good so everyone should give him space for now, until he is ready to talk.

Just then Mumbo landed and ran towards Scar and Grian. Grian immediately latched onto Mumbo, hugging him tightly. Scar took off, giving the two some time alone, he thought it would be best as he didn't know the young hermit as well as Mumbo did.

"Grian....how long have you felt like this?" Mumbo calmly asked. Grian replied shakily.
"S-since the beginning o-of h-hermitc-craft. I-is that b-bad? A-am I a b-bad p-person?" Mumbo was taken aback by this and started to tell him how wonderful he was and that he wasn't a bad person at all. There was something that Mumbo really wanted to say but he thought that now was not the best time. All he need to know was why Grian did the things he did.
"Why did you hurt yourself?" He asked the bow calm hermit as he made small circles on his back to keep him calm.
"I-I didn't know how to handle some emotions I was feeling..." he leant on Mumbo's shoulder as he started to unravel the truth.
"What kind of emotions " Mumbo calmly asked.
"Bad ones"
"Why were you feeling them?"
"I was hurting your's and other hermit's feelings"
"Did you want to hurt our feelings?"
"No"
"How were you hurting our feelings?"
"I was saying no to offers that were fun and I thought so to but I couldn't do them..."
"Why not?"
"Because for the activity's I would need to be shirtless"
Grian suddenly clamped his hand over his mouth, he had said too much and now he was going to come out to Mumbo and Mumbo was going to hate him forever. He was such an idiot.
"Tell me why that's a problem for you." Mumbo was stern and look Grian dead in the eyes.
"...."
"Tell me so I can help you, please" Mumbo was being stern but he wasn't going to be rude.
"...I have scars on my chest..."
"What from?"
".....Top surgery.."
Mumbo was shocked to the core.
