#it worked!

Soooo imagine you and two other guys get shunned away for being "evil", and later you become very close with them. So close that they basically become the only people who don't judge you and truly understand you. But one day, one of them leaves you behind and basically wants nothing to do with you, and sometime later your other friend follows. And now you're completely alone, until you decide to pop up to see what's going on.

And only then you understand why: there's a guy who seems to have grown very close with your friends out of nowhere. But now he wants to extend the same kindness to you, to become a big happy family. Just that, you know, this is the same guy that made you and the most important people in your life feel like villains, took them away from you, and NOW wants you to forget everything and pretend nothing happened.

...yeah no if i were Remus i'd have to kill that guy lol-

Meanwhile, I think Patton did play a role in dividing the whole group into "dark" and "light" sides. Not out of malice, but rather ignorance and his very black and white views on morality. It took a while for him to actually reflect on his actions and realize the incredible amount of pain he caused, and wants to fix it. It took a lot of work, but managed to redeem himself to Virgil and Janus. Now, he wants to do the same with Remus. It's very difficult, especially since they don't have a lot in common, but he still wants to fix things.

Which makes Remus's much more confused but also angry. This is the person that hurt him the most, but now he actually seems remorseful. But he's not ready to forgive him, he is still hurting and mad. So Remus tries to bother Patton in order to make him snap and finally show everyone (and mostly himself) that Patton is actually evil. Except every time that happens he's met with compassion, which makes him even agrier, and want to force Patton to snap even more. At the same time, Patton is actually getting fustrated but feels like he can't really complain since he's the one at fault, and fears that it might affect their progress. The cycle repeats itself.
