Tyler told you and Josh to come to his place today.

He sits at his piano. His hands are shaking.

Josh reaches over and squeezes your hand reassuringly.

"He'll be okay," he mouths silently.

You nod as Tyler starts to play.

Despite the past few days, the song Tyler plays is upbeat and quick.

"Why am I not scared in the morning? I don't hear those voices calling," Tyler sings, his voice becoming lighter with every word.

Not happier. Just...lighter.

"I must have kicked them out. I must have kicked them out."

He shakes his head repeatedly.

"I swear I heard demons yelling, those crazy words they were spelling."

Next to you, Josh quietly taps a beat with his fingertips.

"They told me I was gone, they told me I was gone."
