Roman gasped as he woke up in a dark room. He wasn't sure of where he was, but he was certain that it wasn't his side of the Imagination. The room was cold— yet hot at the same time as a damp, humid feeling washed over him. He swallowed as he heard movement somewhere in the shadows. A spotlight was turned on above him. He squinted into the darkness as he tried to get his eyes to adjust to the sudden light. As his vision cleared, he realized he was in the middle of an old stage that he and Remus —no, Romulus—had made when Thomas was younger. Speaking of his twin, Roman looked out towards the audience that was blanketed in darkness. He heard slow clapping and could faintly see the glowing of acid colored eyes.

"R-Remus?" He called out. "What's going on? Why am I here?" He watched intently as Remus moved slowly. Leaving the audience, the Duke climbed onto the chair where he had sat, and used the others to flip himself onto the stage, in front of his 'beloved' brother. "Remember this place, Roman? It's our old sanctuary. We used to come here all the time when we wanted to get away from the others.." The Duke's voice sounded sad, almost like he missed the abandoned Auditorium. "Even after the Split," Remus continued as he walked behind Roman and put his hands on the Prince's shoulders,"We would put on shows for the others. For Janus... Logan... Virgil.." He gripped Roman's shoulders as the memories brought upon him unwanted tears,"And-" "-And Patton.." Roman said as he looked out into the sea of empty seats. "Yea, I remember. But I also remember that this was where Romulus monologued us out like a disease." Remus let go of Roman's shoulders.

"Why am I here in this depressing place, Remus?" Roman tried to look at his brother. "Why have you brought me here?" "Simple, brother," Remus said,"One last show. A debate if you will-" "If I wanted to debate, I'd bother Logan." Roman gritted his teeth. Remus rolled his eyes and turned the chair, sitting himself in Roman's lap. "See this as a confrontation then," Remus said as he held Roman's chin in his well manicured fingers. "You've been a naughty boy as of late." "I have no idea what you mean." "Yes you do. I know you better then anyone!" "No, Pat-!" "Patton doesn't know SHIT!" Remus growled. "You can claim that you told Patton everything, but I know the truth. You have to answer for your actions!" "With my life? Isn't that extreme-?!" "Hang on, I recall Romulus split us because you were excited and reckless!" Roman frowned and stood suddenly from the chair, making Remus fall onto the stage on his ass. Roman summoned his sword and pointed it Remus. "Okay, so were doing this." Remus smirked and stood, snapping his fingers to summon his own sword.
