This hurt Remus. Deeply. But it made him reflect. He sunk out and went to the dark sides.

"Virgil? Janus? Can I talk to you two for a second?"

Remus using their names and full, proper sentences? This couldn't be good.

Virgil started to get anxious.

“Y-Yeah..?”

Remus glanced at Jealousy.

"Yknow what? Let's take a walk."

Janus was silent. Jealousy was barely paying attention.

The three "dark minions" took a walk outside in the garden.

"...Someone told me that Jealousy doesn't like me, or what I do. And I am starting to think that statement applies to all three of us."

“...”

Virgil sighed.

“...Don’t listen to them. The light sides lie about this stuff a bunch. It doesn’t matter. You’re thinking about this too much.”

"No, Virgil, Jealousy treats us like pests! He treats us like inconveniences to him!"

"Remus, you're being irrational. ...And loud. Quiet before someone hears you."

"Please, if you two would just lis-!"

Janus grabs Remus by the collar, and the latter immediately shuts up.

"There is nothing wrong with our job or our master. And there is no further discussion on this matter. Do I make myself extraordinarily clear?"

Virgil seemed to keep a stern look on his face. However, he was currently under Jealousy’s control, in order for the leader to stay in, well, control. But nobody noticed.

Janus lets go of Remus, who seems hurt and scared. They return to the mansion. Jealousy had already known what happened, via controlling Virgil. He saw Remus' expression, and decided to use it to his advantage.

"Remus, sweetheart, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Janus didn't care enough to point out that Jealousy was feigning sympathy.

"N-No sir..."

"Your face says otherwise, sweetheart. Here, come here, tell me what happened."

Remus stepped forward, looking down to hide t•ars.

"..."

"What is troubling you? What is it that I can do for you?"

Remus took a deep, shaky breath before looking up.

"You can't do anything for me. All you know is how to treat people like . I-I'm forming my own group of dark sides, and you will never be allowed in. I'll pick the leader."

Jealousy smirked.

"Remus, what-"

Remus turned and ran. He ran as fast and as far away as he could.

"S-Should we go after him, sir?"

"No, let him go. He's useless on his own."

Virgil’s eyes flickered from orange to his regular brown. Back and forth. He was fighting the control.

“D- Don’t-“

Janus turned to Virgil.

"Virgil...?"

“Urgh-“

It was only then that Janus noticed the flickering colors in Virgil’s eyes.

“ you J-“

He turned to the Orange side.

"Let him go!"

Janus summoned his weapon, But Jealousy controlled him and brought him to the ground.

"Virgil, do you really want to follow in Remus' footsteps? He was merely a bump in the road, you've told me you didn't like him on several occasions!"

“Yes.”

Despite everything, Virgil was still a dark side, and he cared about Remus dearly.

(Unrelated, but a while back, I updated my phone and lost my playlist. Well, after several attempts, I am happy to report that as of today, I have gotten back my playlist.)
