Guilt, Guilt, Guilt

Events occurring after Amadeus' reappearance. **Trigger warnings for psychotic breakdowns, victim blaming, suicide attempts.**

## Lore

Immediately after Amadeus' reappearance, the chatroom appears delighted. Essie makes several sarcastic jabs towards Amadeus, whereas Wesley seems pleased with his return. The chatroom seems put off by Takashiro due to his odd attitude. After hearing that Amadeus helped Wesley, Essie seems even more furious. When Amadeus reappears, Essie lashes out at him, and she and Wesley argue, ending with Essie leaving. When Dorian states he doesn't want to be friends with Amadeus anymore, Wesley, Melina and Milla chastise him, with Milla implying Essie betrayed him. Unknown to the others, Louisa shares these messages with Essie, and Essie disappears from the hospital the next morning.

Issac and Wesley bicker over finding Essie, and in the end, Issac and Amadeus find a semi-conscious Essie, who appears to be psychotic and having difficulty breathing. Wesley and Melina are kidnapped though are soon rescued and taken to hospital, where Tae-Yang appears to visit him. There, Tae-Yang agrees to take care of Atticus until Wesley is better, and they agree that whilst they do still love each other, both need help if they want to date again. Milla begins talking, and Ollie begins jeering at him, with Melina asking her not to fight, which seems to set Ollie's choice in stone. The entire chatroom receives an essay from Ollie regarding her sister's treatment. Issac begins acting insensitively, and Ollie (who clocked his fear of germs) sends her three year old brother to throw a worm at him.

Ayana appears in the chatroom, sending a message in Urdu, and Rahim translates it to Dae-Hyun, who informs the police of Ayana's location. She is rescued and taken to hospital. The next morning, she returns to the chatroom, welcomed by Killian and Rahim. Ollie confronts Darius regarding his treatment towards Essie. Essie returns to the chatroom, still having a psychotic breakdown, believing she killed Penn, scaring the life out of most of the chatroom. Darius makes a jab at Dorian's inability to walk, before bringing up Penn in order to upset Lexie. Lexie attempts suicide as a result, with Hades informing the chatroom that Lexie died because of this.

The next morning, Nico relays a long message from Theodore, who is planning on quitting and handing in his notice due to the supposed death. Nico also asks that when Essie returns, people don't tell her about Lexie's death for her safety. Maverick rejoins, quickly angering much of the chatroom. Essie rejoins. Hades questions if anyone knew where Leo is, and Issac claims to have her. Hades asks for it, and Issac refuses, starting a massive argument, before Nico tells Ollie to go and get Elize, before the chatroom scolds Issac. Issac begins acting erratically, arguing with Killian. Sensing that Issac is going to say Lexie's dead, Nico tells Ollie to run to the hospital. When Issac reveals Lexie's dead, Killian yells at him and Essie disappears.

Issac appears at the Moonberry household seeking advice from Theodore, only to learn Ollie and her younger siblings are there. He begins to argue with Ollie and Axel over this. Ayana apologises for threatening and blackmailing people. When Ayana has a panic attack, Killian and Issac bicker over their responses to it. Dorian finally stands up to Maverick, and Maverick believes he's bluffing, however Dorian (to the surprise of most) stands his ground. Nico and Dorian have a calm conversation regarding books. Maverick comes back and Essie threatens him.

Darius appears to finally realise the effects of his actions, and disappears, attempting suicide. Tae-Yang and Hades agree to go look for him, and he is found by Tae-Yang, who performs CPR whilst Issac says they should cancel the ambulance. Issac appears irritated with Hades way of grieving, and Ollie and Hades lash out at him for this. Darius apologises for his actions when he awakens.

Mr Fox makes a post, exposing that Melina has commit murder, Essie and Nico assault, Amadeus' assault on Cartien and screenshots of Sophia's rudeness. Sophia lashes out at the chatroom, knowing that it was Ayana who previously supplied those screenshots. Tae-Yang begins to argue with Issac about taking responsibility for his actions. Sophia opens up to Darius, who pressures Ayana into supplying him with information. Essie confronts Milla over text, and he begs her not to be mad at Amadeus- however, she refuses, saying she'll heal how she wants. Milla doesn't take this well, and Essie continues to argue with him until he stops responding.

Lexie wakes up after Dorian claims to have heard that she was alive, and returns to the chatroom. Amadeus sends a public apology to Essie, which she doesn't respond to. Issac jokes that he's going on a "date" with Florence. Whilst Nico, Ollie and Killian have a playful conversation over Ollie and Essie's accents, Issac enters to conversation, sparking yet another argument over a specific phrase Ollie used. Whilst new student Sofia talks with Issac about Twilight, Nico catches Issac sending a message about Killian's dad. This creeps Nico out to the point of nausea and tears, and he calls Issac out for this- however Issac and Sofia unintentionally gaslight Nico, and he leaves the chatroom. Ollie enters, having a go at Sofia until she breaks and apologises to Nico. Issac sends Nico a genuine apology.

Tae-Yang talks with Sofia the next morning, saying Sofia won't be able to last in Camshire if she doesn't handle arguments as well. Dae-Hyun talks with Evelyn, saying he's helping Evan pack up as he is leaving at the end of the month. Louisa mentions that a new foster kid is coming to live with them. A new student, Magdalena-Mara, or Maggie, joins, immediately seeming to dislike Merri's peppy attitude. Maverick talks about Dorian's assault, upsetting Dorian, and Essie pays Ollie to go and beat him up. However, when Maverick apologises and swears not to do it again, she pays Ollie not to.
