Logan feels- Logan feels…
Crazy;
adjective
mentally deranged, especially as manifested in a wild or aggressive way.
No, not crazy- not like that. Crazy is a Virgil word- a cognitive distortion word. A word Virgil would use in a moment of excessive alarm or fear. That he’s just crazy. It’s a word that packs a hard punch, bordering on problematic in its usage. But no. Not crazy. That’s not how Logan feels. Logan doesn’t feel crazy.
Logan feels
Sad;
adjective
feeling or showing sorrow; unhappy.
No, not sad. Sad is a Patton word- a heavy word. A word for Patton when he’s curled up in his bed and doesn’t want to leave. Holding onto memories he can’t live in anymore. Sad is a sad word, melancholic at best- frightfully tacky and dramatic at worst. Logan doesn’t feel sad.
Logan feels
Vexed;
adjective
annoyed, frustrated, or worried.
No, not vexed. Vexed is a Roman word- a fiery word. Flickering with passion and angst. Subtler than irate- more passionate, elaborate, and bold than angry. It’s a word for when Roman’s feeling particularly annoyed with Logan and his antics and his frustrating… everything. Logan doesn’t feel vexed.
Logan feels
Inconsequential;
adjective
not important or significant.
No, of course not- not- no. Obviously not. Thomas needs him. They all need him. Barely can function without him-
they’ve managed before.
Cognitive distortion word. it’s a Virgil word, when he’s feeling particularly terrible about his past. A Patton word, when he feels like an empty airhead of nothing intellectual to offer. A Roman word, when his ideas aren’t up to par with his own expectations for himself.
It’s not… It’s not a Logan word.
Logan feels
Nothing;
pronoun
not anything; no single thing.
Yes, nothing. It’s a safe word. A word to fall on when nothing else makes sense. it’s not a Virgil word, or a Patton word, or a Roman word.
Nothing. Nothing is a Logan word.
