THE REST OF the night, Tommy refused to leave his room, wanting nothing more than to be left alone, and so Phil and Techno left him alone. (except for when Ranboo arrived, they tried to get him out to say 'Hello' but he refused)

Tommy felt tears prick his eyes once again causing him to scoff "Look at yourself, Tommy, you can't do anything without crying." He mumbles to himself, unaware to the 3 prying ears listening from above

"I got my discs back.. I have my discs.. but at what cost?" Tommy says sadly, thinking of the betrayed looks on everyone's faces

"I'm just a kid.. I would say it was a little mistake but... it's a massive fucking hole in my old home, in my old l'manburg.. and it wasn't a mistake." He says to himself once again before sitting up on his bed

"Wilbur would be proud.. I'm doing right by him.. He would support this... He would be happy.. I've made him proud." He reassures himself, thinking back to the times where all he wanted was to make Wilbur proud

"I'm not the bad guy, I'm in the right, the government turned Tubbo against me, we would have been fine if we left L'Manburg.. but.. he exiled me and then I.. I turned Tubbo against me.." His voices turns to a whisper as he got to the end, slowly standing up

"It's all Dreams fault.. It's not mine.. Wilbur would be here if it wasn't for Dream.. or Schlatt... L'Manburg would have been fine in Wilburs control, he didn't change until he lost everyt..." Tommy stops himself as he realises something

"Am I becoming Wilbur? He was fine before he lost everything... I lost everything daily in exile before I slowly started to change.. I became Dreams puppet.. I.. I wanted to end it all.. I wanted to kill my best.. my ex best friend.." He says to himself as he began pacing across his small room

"am I the bad guy?.. I can't be the bad guy. I'm not gonna be the bad guy..Wilbur wasn't the bad guy..." Tommy mumbles before hearing a knock at his trapdoor "Toms?" It was Phil

"Yes?" Tommy responds, Phil could almost hear his own heart shatter at the sound of Tommys voice. He sounds so.. defeated.

"Do you want anything to eat?" Techno asks, shortly revealing himself after Tommy spoke

"No, I'm alright, thanks, I think i'm just gonna head to sleep." Tommy says in response, "Okayyyy" Techno mumbles, dragging out the 'y' before acting as if they all left

"I'm just a kid." Tommy reminds himself quietly, as he puts in 'Cat' before lying down on his bed, words warming through his head

"I heard there was a special place..." Tommy began to sing quietly along to the music (though the song was a different backing, he didn't mind)

"where men could go and emancipate.. the brutality and the tyranny of their rulers." He continues as a small smile appears on his face, thinking back to when he and Tubbo first sung the song together

"you go first! I'll play the uke while you sing, and then you can play the piano when I sing!" Tubbo said excitedly, Tommy smiles at the idea as Tubbo began to strum the chords of  'My L'Manburg'

"Well this place is real..."

"Down with the revolution boys, it was never meant to be." Eret stated, a sickening tone to his voice that hurt more to Tommy than the sword that stabbed him

"Eret! You- You traitor!" Tommy yelled, tears in his eyes.

This was the first time he learned, you can't trust everybody.

"we didn't have to fret..."

"I say if I can't have L'Manburg, Nobody can have L'Manburg!" Wilbur screamed, hitting against the wall, Tommy couldn't believe his ears.

blowing up L'Manburg....

never.

"With Wilbur, Tommy, Tubbo, fuck Eret.."

"Tommy! Let's be the bad guys." Wilbur said lowering his voice, Tommy didn't respond.

he doesn't want to be the bad guys...

but maybe he has to.

"it's a very big and not blown-up L'Manburg."

"No!" Tommy shouted in pain as he sees the place he once called home blow up, by none other then his older brother.

Wilbur.

That was the second time he learned you can't trust everybody.

and to make matters worse, not even moments after, Tommy watched his own father murder his older brother.

"..Wilbur?"

"My L'Manburg..."

"Dream, please detain and escort Tommy out of my country." Tubbo demanded, not even looking at Tommy

"Tubbo- no, no you can't do this, you're my.. you're my friend!" Tommy begged, desperation in his voice

it was just a little mistake.. he didn't mean to burn down George's home

"Goodbye, Tommy."

That was the final time Tommy learned: you can't trust anybody.

"My L'Manburg.."

Exile was hard.
Tommy doesn't like it.
He wanted to go home.
It was just a little mistake.
He's just a kid.
He didn't mean to hurt anyone.

"My L'Manburg.."

"Welcome home, Theseus!" Techno announced with a smirk as he reveals what he's been working on "Holy shit!" Tommy screamed with a laugh

something he's not genuinely done in a while.

"My L'Manburg.."

"Ghostbur, I will fuck your shit up." Tommy jokingly threatened, Ghostbur looked at him puzzled "why would you want to fuck my shit up? that's a bit concerning." He said innocently, not realising Philza behind him

"What the fuck-"

Tommy let out a sigh, changing the final lyric..

"goodbye, L'Manburg."
