@MBLEMATICDAGGER "Oh." [Ray froze. Seriously, it was like his entire bodily function got put on pause. He didn't know if he wanted to scream or cry or throw up right now. But he knew it really wasn't Frank's fault. He didn't know how to say that though, so he went silent after that.]

@JSTSL33P “Not like that, idiot…” [ Frank broke eye contact to finally clean up his tears with his thumbs. Just to return back to Ray’s eyes. ] “I like you. I think I might be in love with you, and I don’t know what to do about it.”

// @JSTSL33P [ Frank is sitting on his bed. His chest bumping as hard as it could and his throat with a knot that could not be easily erased. His head was looking down, avoiding any eye contact possible with the man standing in front of him. ]

@RARDOFSORROWS "It will. Trust me just this once, okay?" [Ray smiled softly yet sadly, gently running his thumb back and forth across their cheek. He just wanted them to be alright.]

@JSTSL33P [Gerard frowned.] "I hope so..."

// @RARDOFSORROWS [Ray was able to get to Gerard's cell rather easily. Maybe it was because he didn't have to go through someone else this time. Whatever the case, he felt a pit in his stomach. He knew Gerard was upset, and he had no idea how to even begin fixing it.] "Rard?"

@MBLEMATICDAGGER [Ray blinked, laughing nervously. He really hoped Frank wasn't saying what he thought he was saying.] "Uh...I'd hope so, considering we're bandmates."

@JSTSL33P [ With difficulty, Frank took a breath in between his chaos, and looked at Ray directly in the eyes. ] “I… think I like you.” [ He said. And suddenly, he didn’t know if the weight in his chest disappeared or got heavier. ]

@MBLEMATICDAGGER "What?" [Ray's brows pinched together. He hated that Frank was so distressed, but he also had no idea what was happening.] "What do you mean by that?"

@JSTSL33P [ His body flinched when Ray’s hand touched his shoulder, and his crying got even worse. He could barely see behind his tears and his hands were trembling. It was embarrassing. ] “It’s you!” [ Frank had built up a little courage to raise his head, finally making eye contact. ]

@RARDOFSORROWS "I do believe you! I can tell this is really bothering you." [Ray's hand slid up from Gerard's hand to gently cup their cheek, willing them to look at him.] "There's definitely something weird happening. There always is in Draag. But...the truth will reveal itself eventually."

@JSTSL33P "You don't believe me... I know you don't." [Gerard muttered.] "I hate the lying. I hate the cover-ups."

@MBLEMATICDAGGER [Ray knew Frank was crying; it was obvious the moment he heard the shorter man's breath hitch. And suddenly he felt his heart drop to his stomach. What could possibly have him this upset?] "Frank..." [He gingerly placed a hand on Frank's shoulder.] "What is it?"

@JSTSL33P his crying eyes for his good luck, but the whimpers coming out of his mouth didn’t help on trying to hide it. ]

@MBLEMATICDAGGER [Ray folded his arms across his chest, eyes narrowed slightly in suspicion but also concern. He hadn't seen Frank look so small before.] "What dots, Frank? What are you dancing around?"

“You really don’t know, huh? I thought you had connected the dots…” [ It came out like a murmur, his voice cracking more with every word that came out of his mouth. ]

@RARDOFSORROWS [Ray nodded slowly, trying to make them feel better. He wished he was good at this. Understanding completely how they felt.] "I do...I do believe you. Promise. I'm just worried about you because you're so worked up."

@JSTSL33P "I'm not crazy. I know what's happening, I know something is wrong." [Gerard insisted.] "You have to believe me, Ray."

@RARDOFSORROWS "I know. And that's okay. But for your own sake, you need to relax for a minute. You're literally shaking right now." [Ray frowned, gently swiping a thumb against their knuckles.]

@JSTSL33P [Gerard whined and hung their head. They sighed heavily.] "Something isn't right, Ray... I deel conflicted... I'm so unsure of everything.."

@MBLEMATICDAGGER ...No? What am I missing exactly?

@JSTSL33P Nothing else?

@MBLEMATICDAGGER It does. You're a dog

@JSTSL33P Use your brain, please. All the clinging, the chewing, doesn’t it mean something to you?

@RARDOFSORROWS [Ray squinted down at the paper before sighing and setting it aside, gently placing a hand over the one on his arm.] "I know. I know it's weird, but...you're gonna drive yourself crazy trying to figure this out. Maybe more information'll come out tomorrow, and you'll remember."

@JSTSL33P "I have to!" [Gerard argued They grabbed knto Ray's arm.] "I have to before they— when they give us the medicine, I don't remember this stuff! And I'm-" [They grabbed the paper and shoved it towards Ray.] "These people— Korse? These people are— my head hurts!"

@MBLEMATICDAGGER Obvious??? What am I supposed to suspect?

@JSTSL33P Ray, I think at this point I’ve been really obvious. You actually haven’t suspected anything? Really? I think that hurts even more.

@MBLEMATICDAGGER Don't use that tone with me! I really don't know :/

@JSTSL33P Ugh, please…

@MBLEMATICDAGGER ??? I don't

@JSTSL33P Stop acting dumb, you know what I’m talking about.

@MBLEMATICDAGGER Well you're already the resident dog? What's the point of this

@JSTSL33P You know damn well

@RARDOFSORROWS "Rard..." [Ray frowned, taking a deep breath before gingerly sitting down on the cot beside them.] "Just breathe, okay? You don't have to figure it all out right now."

@JSTSL33P "No.." [Gerard shook their head. Their hands balled up into fists.] "I'm not stressed— I am, but it's not making me crazy!" [They huffed.] "I don't— everything is jumbled- those people- and then- I'm lost!"
