Logic POV

I awoke to a strange pulling sensation.  It was unforgettable and as a result was quickly identified as Thomas summoning me.  It seemed strange because at that time I had not experienced that reaction in quite some time, being preoccupied as I was with concern for Anxiety, and being sure to comfort and support Patten.  Roman was doing rather well to take care of himself.

I was summoned by Thomas to his room.  He was sitting on his bed, his head bowed.  He was breathing heavily.  However, the most striking observation was that he'd dyed his hair a bright fuchsia.  I stood there for a few seconds before he looked up.  His eyes were swollen, clearly due to the normal fat that helps support the eyes moving into the lower eyelids, which causes the lids to appear puffy. Additionally, fluid may have accumulated in the area below his eyes, which added to the swelling.  To summarize, he had bags under his eyes.  

He was neither smiling nor frowning.  His face appeared to be practically devoid of emotion.  I froze.  My breath was shallow.  He looked at me and his eyes changed to cold and calculating.  

"There must be some adverse effect from none of the main parts of the personality being actively in control of their host for an extended period of time."  He said, startling me as he parroted my own thoughts.

Patten appeared next to me and Thomas's eyes flew to him.  His face lit up in a smile.

"I'm so glad my little boy is okay! I'd never forgive myself if he wasn't!"  Thomas said in a happy, fun filled tone.  

I gasped, which drew Thomas's eyes back to me.

"He's parroting our thoughts in a disjointed way which is caused by our absence!  Similar to an overload of stimuli."  I said quickly, Thomas saying it simultaneously in an identical tone.  I sighed and closed my eyes, attempting to clear my mind into clear concise thoughts.  

Thomas gasped and stuttered, "Wh-what?  What's going on?"  

I opened my eyes, Thomas was looking around and yawning.  I sighed and sat down, motioning Morality to sit on his other side.  

"Well...."
