Something was off with Patton, and it was clear he didn't want to talk about it. He seemed to remember that Janus could sense lies, but he forgot about lies of omission. There was a lot of omission going on. Whatever was happening, it was causing him pain. And that was something Janus didn't want. In order to find out what was wrong, however, he needed to enlist some help.
On the Dark Side, he called for someone he really wished he didn't have to put his faith in. "Remus!"
"What is it, Jay?" He walked out looking like he'd just woken from a nap.
"I need your help with something. There's something wrong with Patton."
"Why do I care?"
"Just help me out here."
"Ya like him or something?"
Janus gave him a glare.
"...You do, don't you?"
"Jussst shut up."
"Okay, okay, fine. What do you want me to do?"
"Try to find out what's causing Patton to be in pain. There's clearly something wrong, and he won't tell."
"I'm on it!"
