Welp, here you go. The angst you've all been waiting for. /hj

TWs: Swearing, Possession

Ren smirked, looking at the hermits around him. They were looking for the traitor, the person who hid amongst them, feeding information to Ex and Hels. Of course, him and Doc had been cleared due to all the shenanigans they had been performing, it being stated that they've been too busy trying to sort things out to feed information. He was one of the more 'panicked' hermits about this, putting on the act of being scared. But he knew, he knew who the traitor was. He knew it was him, hiding away and feeding them all the information they needed. Why? He hated everything about the hermits. The pranks being pulled pissed him off, the fact Doc was so caught up on the Octagon he would be ignored, the fact almost everything he said was ignored. But who didn't ignore him? What words did he say that would never be ignored? 'I love you Iskall, and don't you ever forget it.' Those were the words that got the swedish enby under his belt, how he got them not to spill anything. Of course, he did actually love them but he knew even if they would rat on him, the hermits wouldn't believe them. That was the fun part for Ren, the fact he could tell Iskall anything and everything, yet nobody would believe them.

Iskall knew everything, but when they brought it up, nobody believed them. "It's Ren!" they said, "He literally told me everything!!" they said, "Why won't you all believe me?!" they said. They were so helpless, it was funny. Ren had to act, panicked, scared, shocked. Saying "It's not me!! I've been busy with Doc!" and "But all the times they would have been given information, I've been seen with people!!" All the hermits believed him, everything he said was true. Suspicion grew on Iskall, however Ren always cleared them off. He didn't want to lose his partner, he knew that from the start. He knew he needed to clear suspicion off himself, but also clear suspicion off Iskall. That's why Xisuma grew suspicious, wondering why Ren would clear the person who framed him.

But Ren never gave up the act. Nobody questioned him and nobody framed him. Other than Iskall. Iskall knew, and Xisuma started to believe them.

Until the day it escaped. Ex and Hels arrived, on the day Iskall had told them. Ren acted panicked to begin with, before drawing his sword and cornering the admin. Not only did he trick the hermits, he tricked the two he had on 'his side'. He wasn't working with them so to say, more making alliances before slaughter. Ex tried to move Ren away from the admin, clearly getting uneasy vibes. Yet he drew his axe and fought him, pushing the other to the floor. He had the biggest threat to the server and the admin of the server at his fingertips. It was funny how helpless they both looked. "...Ren? This isn't you..""It is, and it always has been Iskall! Don't you get it! I'm pissed! You all treated me like shit! And you want me to stop?!""..Ren, you can fight it. It isn't you.""It always has been me Iskall. You just never, ever, noticed.""..The man I fell in love with would never do this. This isn't you."It pained him. The voice took over every time. His fighting back was helpless, even with Iskall trying to get to him. He got control for a second then he lost it again. He knew fighting back was helpless, but he still did it. Why? He couldn't lose his partner. He wouldn't lose them, and he would fight back. He knew it hurt but he needed himself back. He kept getting pushed back, injured.

"I-Iskall!!"
