Virgil was keeping the worst secrets for the worst of reasons.
Sickness was growing at an alarming rate. Daily function was getting too difficult.

Small changes at first: his hoodie looked baggier, his eyeshadow seemed darker, skin paler. He'd spend less time outside his room.

Then things got worse: constant sickness, endless nausea, vertigo, emaciation. Virgil struggled to keep balance without some sort of crutch or support.

It took everything out of him to pretend he was fine. It took too much out of him.

It took so much out of him that he knew he was running out of time.

It was his decision whether or not to take action. His life was in his own hands.

The only thing in his way was fear of himself.
