"...I know it's over, I was born a choker, nobody's coming for me..."

Tyler Joseph is a citizen of the walled city of DEMA. The city is ruled by the 9 bishops, including Nicolas Bourbaki, or Nico, who is seen as the leader of the nine. The bishops possess the power to possess any dead bodies, and they have much more powers they use to rule over DEMA. Hope was not lost, as there was a potent rebel group known as the Banditos who fought against the bishops' control. Tyler himself was a Bandito, and he made many songs to invoke a feeling of rebellion and distrust against the bishops. One day, Nico found Tyler near a river, and he was captured. Upon his capture, the bishops forced Tyler to make music to do the opposite of its original purpose-to spread pro-DEMA propaganda across the citizens. He fought all he could, but now, he's helpless. Tyler Joseph can't do anything.

Upon his rearrival into DEMA, the bishops gave him a proper housing situation so he would be safe to keep spreading propaganda. That 'housing situation' happened to be your apartment. Tyler was a good roommate, but he didn't talk much, and you could tell that he was depressed. He wore nice clothes, he dyed his hair pink, but nothing would work. One night, he came home after a long recording session where the bishops kept close watch on him as he sang, rapped, spoke, and played instruments, and Tyler was having enough of it. Now, the only one who can console him is you.

"When times aren't the best, and I'm on the edge, I'll listen for a song in the distance..."
