It was a slow process. Perhaps a bit too slow for Logan's liking. 

After he had calmed down, Virgil made him recite the alphabet backwards as a way to distract him from going back to that dark mindset. Only after he was semi-back to normal did Virgil allow Logan to explain his side of the story. They came to the conclusion that Remy must have done it when Logan went to go grab more blankets for the five to make a blanket fort, then disguised as Logan to get a chance to nab Deceit when the opportunity struck. 

"Do you have any idea of where he could possibly be?" Virgil asked softly, continuing to rock Logan gently. Logan shook his head in response. 

"I have a uh..friend searching the Imagination and he obviously wasn't in the subconscious with me.. Maybe in one of the rooms? If everyone helps search, we may be able to cover more of the mindscape." Logan suggested quietly. He felt like he was going to cry yet again. He felt..lonely without Deceit and that scared him. He didn't understand this feeling at all.

"Good idea, let's go get the others. I'll find Remus and the others that have a close bond with the snek mom." Virgil allowed Logan to get up first before standing up and taking him to the living room where Roman and Patton were. Both of them looked really worried and a slight relief crossed their faces when they saw Logan. 

"There you are! We were worried about you!" Patton exclaimed. He got up and hugged Logan tightly, receiving a light patton the back in return. He pulled away to see Logan on the brink of tears once again. "What's going on..?"

"Remy took Deceit a-and I don't know were he is. W-we need to find him before it's too late!" Logan replied, clutching his chest. He saw Patton and Roman nodding in understanding. Virgil appeared with Remus and a couple other Sides whom Logan barely recognized. Or maybe he did  but he couldn't think figuratively straight. 

"Virgil told us what happened." An orange themed—Logan swore it reminded him of fire—spoke up. The blue themed Side next to him nodded as well as the green Side—in which Logan knew by default that it was Envy—that was standing next to him. 

"What's the plan?"
