Melvin, Regina, and Daniel are all hanging out but all the sudden Daniel just goes silent, zoning out and dissociating.

“Danny,” Melvin says.

“Babe,” Regina mumbles.

Daniel has one of his alters, PZ1 front

“What the, PZ4? PZ9?” PZ1 starts to speak. “What the hell?...” 

“Daniel, why are you calling us by PZ codes?” Melvin says.

“What the hell did the headspace get me into. Why aren't we in the PZ headquarters!” PZ1 starts freaking out as Daniel fronts.

“Geez, sorry about PZ1,” Daniel says. “He doesnt front often so he kinda freaked out.”

Daniels silent because he thinks he will be judged. Melvin grabs a notebook and labels it ‘Daniels alters’

“Alter names, pronouns, and ages now,” Melvin says.

“Lets see.. Me he/him 27, PZ1 They/them/Its ageless, Gizzie he/she 9, Dan They/Them 26, LD he/she/they 24.

“Ok Ok,” Regina says. 

Daniel starts dissociating and LD fronts, who is Regina's favorite alter.

“MAMA!!” Regina says hugging LD.

“Hey there Regigi,” LD says. “How ya doing?”

“I've been better!” Regina says. “Haven't needed a therapy session or had any outburst so that says something”

“Wait, you knew he had DID?!” Melvin asks Regina.

“Yep because LD is my therapist and Gizzie is usually out when i regress,” Regina says.

“That is correct,” LD says.

“Wow thats crazy,” Melvin says.

“Yeah..” Regina mumbles, zoning out.

“Gina…” LD mumbles to her, lightly shaking her.

“Mom?..” regina asks.

“Yes Regina?” LD replies.

“Theres a japanese song stuck in my head and its sad,” Regina says.

“What are the lyrics?” LD asks.

“あぁ 死にたい 死にたい でも死にたくない

泣かせ たくない 人が居るから いくつ キズを 重ねてもまだ 足りない 足りない (足りない)” Regina sings.

“Ah, 死にたい, Typical,” LD says. “Shows a sign that your mental health is going into a decrease again…”

“Is she listening to that japanese song again,” Melvin asks.

LD nods. 

“Ugh! Gina! We told you to stop with that dumb song!!” Melvin starts to get pissed and walks away, leaving Regina in a numb state.

“Do you want Daniel?” LD asks. “Raise your left hand for yes, and your right for no”

Regina raises her left hand and daniel fronts. Regina goes up close to him and snuggles him.

“Awh gina…” Daniel mumbles. “Whats happened?”

“Melvins mad because im listening to 死にたい again and he yelled at me…” Regina says, starting to cry.

“Awh Regigi.. Shh..” Daniel comforts her, sitting her on his lap and rubbing her back. 

In the process, Dan co-fronts because he sensed Regina crying

“Who hurt you?” Dan asked.

“Mel…” Regina replies.

“Ok, Ill be right back GiGi, Ok?” Dan asks.

“Ok danzy,” Regina says.

Dan walks over to melvin and slaps him.

“What the hell Daniel!!” Melvin yells.

“Oh hah if it was daniel, it would've been more softer you dimwit. Do you realize your sister is inside crying right now because of you?!” Dan asks.

“So what. She pissed me off,” Melvin says.

“So what?! You realize shes at the risk of harming herself again right?!” Dan asks.

“Wha…” Melvin says.

Daniel walks back to Regina and sees her pricking herself with a pin. Daniel runs and takes it.

“Gigi no…” Daniel says taking the pin away. 

Daniel starts dissociating again and LD fronts

“What.” Regina says numbly.

LD is silent.

“ Regina, This is highly unhealthy, please just stop… for the sake of Gizzie and Reggie…” LD says.

Regina nods and wipes her arm off.

“Do you want PZ1 to heal it?” LD asks.

Regina nods and PZ1 co-fronts. PZ1 heals Regina's arm and uses all its power to heal Regina.

“There you go,” PZ1 says.

“Thanks i guess,” Regina says.

“Yup!” PZ1 says right before Daniel fronts again.

“Regina?” Daniel asks.

“What,” Regina says.

“I feel dizzy” Daniel mumbles and collapses.

“DANIEL!!” Regina yells, catching daniel.

It takes a bit but eventually Gizzie takes front and wakes up.

“GiGi!!” Gizzie says happily.

“Heya little one!” Regina says picking up Gizzie and bringing her to his room to get building blocks.

“Blockies?” Regina asks.

“BOCKIES!!” Gizzie says happily.

“Haha, you like blocks Giz,” Regina says right as Vy comes in.

“Blocks? Daniel?” Vy asks.

“Gizzie, This is VV. shes nice don't worry,” Regina says.

Gizzie crawls closer to Regina in fear and Regina hugs her close.

“Its alright Giz…” Regina says.

“She… oki?” Gizzie says.

“Shes ok look!” Regina says, bringing him close to Vy.

Gizzie starts babbling and crawls to hug Vys leg.

“Awh…” Vy says, hugging gizzie.

“Hey, you guys wanna go for a walk?” Vy asks.

“YES!!” Regina and Gizzie say in unison

They get ready and start their walk.
