In the morning, Patton faced the Light Side common room, which normally wouldn't be too bad, except there was one problem today.
Janus was there today.
Oh no. No no no no no. He wasn't prepared to face him so soon. But that meant nothing, as he was there now. He held back a cough as he started to make breakfast for himself. Still, Janus could tell something was off. "Is something wrong, Patton?"
"I just didn't sleep well last night." Not a lie- he was in too much pain to sleep well anymore.
"Okay," he replied, seemingly satisfied with his answer. Patton let out a small sigh of relief. His throat burned from petals and thorns stuck halfway up his throat, begging to be let all the way out. But he couldn't, not in front of everyone. He couldn't let them see. He didn't want them to know. They didn't need to know. He had to get out of there as soon as possible, before someone saw.
