[ Royce absolutely does try to sneak off to a room by himself. He's been utterly silent all day, and distant. Last night was bad, and he's shutting himself off, trying to shut himself away instead of dealing with anything. He wants to be alone - he feels alone, and this house in particular is not helping.
He tries to do it quietly, because he doesn't want to talk to Alfie about this, but he figures he's going to get caught making his way upstairs. ]
