A/N: I've been scrolling through the comments of POF and I can't believe how many people are hating on Roman. Like, Roman made fun of Janus' name and called him evil, but are they looking at Roman's though process? Roman was complimented and flirted in SvS, only to realise Janus was trying to influence him into doing the 'selfish' thing. (Also Patton does the same thing but unintentionally, and also for the 'selfless' option.) Roman probably finds it hard to believe that Janus could be a good guy, especially after all that emphasis from Patton and Virgil that Janus was not a great person! For Thomas and Patton to do a 180 so quickly it made him muddled. Like-stop with the Roman hate- criticise his poor choices but don't attack him for it-

TW: Suggested cutting, insecurity.

Roman had lines across his arms. Some were scabbed, others faded. Some were still fresh and red. You could hardly see them, though. He wore long sleeves. 

He had white hair. Fluffy white hair flattened by brown hair dye so he would look normal. Hair that he tried hard to comb, but would stick out sometimes.

Roman also missed being himself. Having a say. Having an opinion. Being Creativity and not just Princey. He wanted to fly with the beat of angel wings away from where he was. 

But he was shackled. Shackled by expectations, belittling, manipulation, egoism trying to be a good person. He wanted to fly but he wasn't strong enough.

He was a stranger from himself. A stranger to the others if they knew.
