Author's Note: Tomorrow, hopefully, will be the last chapter! Then on Saturday, I can start Lyla back up again.
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters you see in here. Just the plot. Based on HarvestMoonAddict/Regardless1604's Reflection of the Heart Challenge.
He was always smiling when he was around people. It never faltered, especially when he was around Lyla or Toy. He never wanted them to believe that he was unhappy, no matter how true it was. When he was alone, depression hit him like a bag of bricks falling from a ten story building. It happened at the most random of times. When he was taking a walk around the valley on his days off or while he was having tea at Wallace's. It even happened when he was minding the shop. There were just too many things going on in his life that he couldn't fix or change and it made him this way.
No one would ever know it, though. He wouldn't tell them. It wasn't their burden to carry and he found his own way of getting around it, even if it caused problems to his health. If it wasn't for Louis's work or his own inventions, he wouldn't know how to battle with the depression growing inside him.
