TW: More intrusive thoughts
*Logan POV*
I got too nervous to ask. I needed to ask. I trust Virgil a little more than Janus or Remus, so why did I not ask? It's a simple question!
I go down to the library like I said I was. I have some homework and a little research I want to do.
The hallways seem to be deserted, most likely due to everyone sleeping in. I enter the library, where it seems only one other person is here, the librarian.
"Hello," he says, "Can I help you with anything?"
"Not at the moment," I say.
I sit down in a beanbag chair and immediately get up because its back support is terrible. I go over to a table and sit down there.
I pull out my laptop, which has most of my homework. I decide to get started on the essay I have due for Language Arts.
After about a half-hour, someone comes rushing in. I ignore them as they go to the non-fiction section.
"Hey, Logan?"
I look up and see Janus.
"Salutations, Janus," I say.
"Yeah, hi-" he says, out of breath, "Do- do you know where the books for helping intrusive thoughts or something like that are?"
"No, why don't you just look it up?" I ask.
"I don't want to. They track everything we do on our computers," Janus says.
"Oh. I can help you look for the book," I say.
"Thank you," he says, relieved.
I'm happy to help anyone who likes to research as I do.
We walk over to the non-fiction section and search for the psychology area. I've never gone there myself, but I am good at finding sections in libraries.
"Over here," I say.
Janus speeds over to me and starts scouring the shelves. I quickly glance over them and pull out a few thin books.
"Here," I say.
I hand him the books I found, all of which are on things like anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and mental disorders and their treatment.
"Why would I need a book about anxiety?" Janus asks.
"A lot of bad thoughts can stem from it," I say.
"Oh, I guess. Thanks, Logan," Janus says, leaving the library as quickly as he came.
"Hey! You need to check out those books!" the librarian shouts.
"I can tell you the titles," I say.
"Fine," he grumbles as I walk over to him.

At noon I leave the library and go down to the cafeteria.
"Hey, kiddo!" Patton says.
I sit down next to him as Roman looks around nervously.
"Salutations. Is everything alright, Roman?" I ask.
"Yeah, just making sure they aren't here," he says.
'They', or Janus, Virgil, and Remus.
"I think you are overreacting from what you heard last night," I say.
"Oh, am I? Well, how many murder plots are there against you every day? 'Cause I think you're underreacting!" Roman says.
I roll my eyes.
