Felix woke up at dawn when Signe and Marzia were still asleep, feeling slightly tired since he hadn't slept at all.

He looked over at Marzia's peaceful expression before he turned away and cautiously crawled out of bed, being careful to not wake her up as he exited the room.

He spotted Signe's sleeping form on the couch as he crept down the hallway, Maya laying on her lap.

Just as Felix reached the door, he heard Edgar start barking behind him.

"Edgar! Deutschland!" Felix hissed sharply, relieved when Edgar quieted down.

No one woke up.

Felix took a coat with him on his way out the door so he could sneak over to Sean's house and check on the egos, hoping they hadn't done anything too stupid while he was gone.

The golden sun was barely hovering over the rooftops of the buildings around Felix, bathing him in its bright warm light as he walked outside and gently closed the door behind him.

He squinted in the brightness as his eyes gradually adjusted while he walked down the sidewalk.

For a moment he paused when he remembered he had forgotten his phone by his bed, contemplating going back inside as he glanced back at the door.

"I can't risk waking anyone up if I go back." Felix sighed in reluctance as he continued walking away, believing that he would be fine.

When he reached Sean's house, he could smell something burning from inside.

"Guys!" Felix barked through the door, his heart pounding hard in his ears as he waited to hear a response.

"Hey Felix, what's up?" Chase answered casually as he opened the door, shifting so he could block Felix's view of the inside.

"I came to check up on you guys, is everything okay?" Felix asked.

"Oh yeah, we're fine." Chase assured him with a nervous chuckle, moving again as Felix tried to look around him.

"Hey Chase, we need help over here!" Marvin called out from inside.

"Sorry we're busy, please feel free to come by later." Chase spoke in a rush as he tried to close the door in Felix's face.

Felix stopped the door with his foot before pushing past Chase, making it halfway to the source of the burning before Chase grabbed the back of his shirt.

"It's fine, we have everything under control." Chase promised him as he darted past him into the kitchen where smoke was curling through the doorway, Felix following him in.

"This is vhy you don't eat fire Robbie, fire is very bad!" Schneep scolded the zombie ego sternly.

"Jackaboy-Man, don't you have some kind of power to help?!" Marvin cried frantically as he frantically searched through his deck of magic cards.

"I can't freeze shit! Jameson, can you do anything?" Jackaboy-Man asked hopefully.

The mute ego shrugged helplessly with an apologetic expression.

"What the hell happened?" Felix exclaimed as he watched the fire grow on the stove top, beginning to lick the ceiling with its flickering orange tongue.

"We were making breakfast before somebody decided to try and eat the fire!" Jackaboy-Man snapped, shooting a glare at Robbie.

Robbie shrank back in response, his expression downcast for the first time since Felix met him.

Wordlessly Robbie left the room without a backwards glance, his head hung in shame.

"God damnit Jackaboy-Man!" Marvin yelled at his fellow ego as he finally found a useful card in his deck and threw it in the fire.
