Just a fair warning that something happens in this chapter that makes Patton seem unsympathetic, he's not but I still want to give the warning

•<================================>•

Planning a wedding was surprisingly boring. At least from Virgil's perspective, Roman seemed extremely happy while planning the wedding. Probably because he was getting to make all the decisions. Virgil barely got any choice, the only real thing he got to decide was how his dress looked, and Roman took it over immediately. Tim also hadn't talked to Virgil in a while, probably because he was busy making sure Janus didn't go crazy in the dungeon. Damion and Roman would constantly go down there to bombard him with insults. Janus said he could handle it, but it was obvious he couldn't. Seeing how Damion and Roman acted towards Janus made Virgil feel extremely guilty. Was he ever like that to Janus or Remus?

Virgil was desperate for the answer to be no, but that definitely wasn't the case. It started off as some sort of revenge for what Janus had done the night he left- but that wasn't Remus' fault, and Janus was obviously sorry. He'd have to apologize when they got out of this sick and twisted mess.

Virgil had been thinking all of this on his walk to the wedding planning room for hopefully the last time until he had to get into the dress. After today the wedding would be set up for the ceremony in two days. Virgil was scared shitless. He kept worrying that the others wouldn't hold up their part of the plan and Janus would be executed and he'd be forced to marry Roman. He'd have no problem marrying Roman a few weeks ago- but Roman had changed.

Virgil walked in to see Roman sitting looking through one of the planning books he'd made. "So what's on the agenda today Roman?" Virgil didn't bother with a nickname.

"I saved the best for last! Today we'll plan Janus' execution!" Virgil's face went paler than before, if that was even possible. Virgil didn't expect for Roman to plan it- he just thought- well he didn't know what he thought, but it wasn't this!

"This is so exciting, after ruining Thomas' life that scaly brute will be no more!"

"When did Janus ruin Thomas' life-?" Janus had messed with him and the other sides before and maybe confused Thomas but nothing to the extent of ruining his life.

Roman got very angry when Virgil questioned him, "When he just showed up and pretended to be on my side! It confused me and he tricked me into choosing the wedding!"

"But Janus DID want to go to the wedding, he did trick you into helping him but not in the way you're saying- if anything Patton should be the side you're mad at, he randomly changed his opinion and you just got caught in the aftermath," Virgil didn't know where the Patton thing came from, but after saying it he realized it was right, his voice got quiet, "this is all Patton's fault..."

"What are you talking about- Patton is just confused like me- Janus is tricking him too! That's why we have to kill Janus!"

"Yeah..." Virgil just agreed with Roman for now. Everything could go back to normal after the wedding. There were no signs of anything going wrong with the plan. Janus wouldn't die. And Damion would.
