"No, no... I agree," Zero said as he leaned in and kissed Far's forehead. "Good night, Faa... I love you."

"Oh now I have to pass out?" Far asked. "I don't get put to bed yet 'daddy'."

Far laughed before coughing loudly.

"Ah...I'm dry." He mumbled.

Trick reached for the water pitcher, only to realize it was empty. He hopped up and took it into the bathroom, filling it up and bringing it out.

"Thank you, Trick," Zero said as the boy filled the glass he had been using and he helped Far sit up.

"When's my discharge?" Far asked before taking a sip.

"Isn't that a dirty word?" Treat blinked.

Zero snorted a little bit. "No, sweetheart. No, its not." He turned to his love, then. "K wants to keep you for one more day."

"For what?" Far asked. "Is my zero to psycho factor still pretty fast?"

"Likely," Zero laughed. "Though I don't think Psycho would agree."

"...Huh?" Far blinked. "Was that a...a sex joke?"

"Now that is a dirty word." Treat pointed at Far.

Zero blinked at his lover. "No... I was suffering to Psycho... as in the student at Wammy's?"

"...We don't let him out enough." Far nodded. "I'm in therapy with that guy."

"With a name like that, I'm not surprised!" Trick cried, frowning. "What kind of name is that!? That's like naming someone... Madness, or something!"

Far and Zero both fell silent.

"...What?" Treat blinked- looking between his parents and Trick.

"There... was a madness," Zero explained and Trick's eyes went wide. "...But he... he's dead."

"A long time ago, you didn't know." Far jumped in immediately- attempting some damage control.

Trick stared between them for a moment before his eyes filled with tears and began to sob loudly.

Far blinked at the boy's reaction.

"Trick!" Treat cried out in alarm. "Don't cry!"
