//Day 4 of Halloween

“Is he awake yet?” A quiet voice asked. Deceit looked up to see Despair and Depression standing in the doorway. He shook his head with a quiet sigh. The two walked over to where he sat and sat down next to him.
“How long has he been unconscious?” Another voice asked. A blur of black-ish blue rushed over to them. Logan was knelt in front of Deceit, fear in his eyes despite the calm look he had.
“N-not that long.” Deceit stuttered out. “I /haven’t/ been trying to wake him up...” He held the dark prince closer to him, fearful of him fading away or dying again. Tears went unshed in his eyes as he looked at Logan with desperation.
“I need you to tell me exactly what happened when you found him.” Logan murmured softly, not wanting to break the cracking man. He gently caressed snek boi’s cheek, placing his other hand on the unconscious man’s head to feel if he has a fever.
Nope. His skin was ice cold yet he wasn’t shivering.
“W-we /haven’t/ all been b-busy and left him by himself..” Deceit explained the best he could. “I-it’s /not/ my fault..”
“You’re right, it’s not. We left him by himself and his doubt overwhelmed him, making the shadows more powerful..” Depression sighed. He fiddled with his sleeves. “We’re all to blame this time.. Despair has to watch over Spencer, Rage and I have been hanging out with Insecurity, and Papa has been making sure Remus doesn’t upset the Lights..”
Rage punched the wall next to him in anger. Tears, red hot due to his anger, streamed down his cheeks as he beat the wall until his knuckles bled. He only stopped when he felt a pair of arms wrap around him.
Logan sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, his hands shook as he tried to think of what to do. “L-let’s keep him on the Light Sides area, just until he stabilizes.”
The others nodded and they sank out, appearing in Logan’s room.
