    Summary

    It takes him a moment to figure out what Roman’s saying. It takes him a moment longer to be able to process it. Virgil with amnesia, not knowing what was happening. Not knowing he was safe.

    “He remembers us,” Roman continues. “Sort of. He just- doesn’t seem to remember the last few years.”

    “How many years?” Thomas croaks out.

    Virgil loses his memory. Thomas makes sure he knows just how much things have changed.

    Summary

    Everyone hurt and scared, little kids crying, police sirens outside and inside they were huddled together, Virgil scared and Roman psyching himself up for a charge and Logan urging, I implore you to keep calm- "Everybody," Patton whispered. "But what if they only shoot me? If I volunteered to be the one they threatened, so they left everyone alone, wouldn't that be okay?"

    "You'd be dead," Janus pointed out, and Patton shook his head. "More importantly, however, you don't have that option. You're a Side. It's Thomas in this situation, not you." No. "If you volunteer, they're bringing everyone else up with you. They're putting guns to all their heads." No no no- "Are you going to kill them, Patton? Is being a good person worth that much to you?" His eyes were bright and intense. "Are you willing to die if it takes Thomas with you?"

    "No," Patton breathed, and Janus smiled. "But if it was just me-"

    There are consequences to overwhelming Morality, and more for ignoring Thomas's Heart.

    Too bad no one told the Sides that.
