Pulling his communicator out of his pocket, Tommy messaged the man he considered his father. It took him a little while to send the message though, with the sobs threatening to spill out of his throat, and the tears in his eyes clouding his vision.
In better days, Tommy had always said he was a big man, and big men don't cry. His past self lied, and now with no one around, he broke down.

Philza was currently making his dinner, when his communicator buzzed. He reached over, and upon reading the words on the small screen, dropped the glass he was holding. Philza raced out the door, not caring about the mess he made, and in his rush, he had forgotten his communicator. It laid face up, with the display reading:
Tommy: philza please come i need u everybodys dead please phil

George had been humming to himself, building his little cottage, when all of a sudden an earth shattering explosion could be heard, and felt through vibrations in the ground. He turned around, and started briskly walking across the prime path towards L'manburg.

As Tommy stared blankly at the ground, he heard a yell. Unable to make out most of the words said, he glanced up, to find a small brunette running across the smoking crater
"Tommy what happened? Where's Dream?!" The Brit asked in distress.
Wordlessly Tommy pointed to a pile of rubble, where Dream's mask laid. George sprinted to the mound, and started clawing at the rocks. After what seemed like an eternity, Dream's face was uncovered. He was pale, with open, glazed over eyes, and blood smeared over his face. The last word's on the tip of his tongue remaining unspoken.

(Flashback)
As the van exploded and everybody flew back, Dream knew the explosives under Manburg had been detonated. He was confused, as Wilbur had been present at the time, until he realized Tubbo had been the only one missing.
It wasn't supposed to be like this, Sapnap and I were supposed to be ready and safe from the blast. Not right in the center of it.
As someone who had played God was brought down by his own confidence, he laid there bleeding out, as all of his potions had been shattered in the explosion. Nothing but guilt and regret occupied his thoughts, as he started to fade.
"At least George is safe... I'm sorr-"
And with that he exhaled and succumbed to the darkness, not being able to properly apologize.

As George stared into Dream's eyes, still in denial, he felt a hand being put on his shoulder. He turned around to see Tommy staring at him, no expression in his face at all.
"Looks like it's just me and you right now Gogy." Tommy said blankly.
"Not quite, mates" came a voice behind the two of them.
Tommy whipped around, "Philza!". The tall blonde boy ran and embraced Philza like a lifeline.
Quiet sobs wracked Tommy's body, yet no tears escaped his eyes, as he had nothing left to cry.
Phil wanted to break down crying himself, yet didn't as Tommy needed him.

A few days later, all the bodies had been found and buried, each gravestone had a carved name and a plant by it. Tears were shed and words were spoken. None of it really mattered though, as nobody truly got a sense of closure.
After the funeral, Tommy, George and Philza went back to the crater that was Manburg, and said goodbye for one final time. The three turned their backs on the place, and walked together into the sunset, not happy, not content, but relieved knowing that they weren't alone.
