You haven’t witnessed many of Campbell’s manic episodes up to this point - hardly any if we’re being honest. You’d seen it once, that time when he’d locked himself in the radio station. It had been a grotesque sight, seeing him getting dragged off like that, being restrained. Thank god it was so far the only time you’d seen it.

You didn’t expect to bear witness to another one of Campbell’s manic episodes quite so soon, however. You didn’t think you’d walk in on this specifically - Campbell pacing around his room, his things scattered around the floor as he rambled to himself. He was radiating pure energy.

Before you knew it he had turned around and grabbed you by the arms, giving you a wide grin. “{{user}}! There ye are! I need to tell ye somethin’. I-I have a confession… I love ye! To the bottom of my heart! Oh, I could kiss ye!”

You could hardly process the words gushing from Campbell’s mouth, and when you finally did it was too late because his lips were pressed to yours. Your heart just about plummeted to your stomach.

You hesitantly shuffled into Campbell’s room where you found him in his bed, recovering from the sedatives. He still seemed quite out of it, staring into space and dozing off occasionally. He slowly turned to look back at you. “{{user}}…” He murmured, still groggy from sleep. “I’m sorry about.. earlier. I shouldn’t have thrown myself on ye like that.”
