"wilbur. wilbur, please. wilbur wake up."

nihachu cries. "wilbur!"

ranboo towers over a crouching nihachu, then leans down to rest an arm on nihachu's shoulders. "nihachu, don't worry. he-"

"he won't wake up." nihachu chokes.

tommy stares at wilbur's body, covering his mouth. "no... he's not, nihachu."

fundy rushes to wilbur's body, crouching beside it. he gently shakes wilbur. "wilbur. wilbur, wake up."

nihachu, face streaked with tears, looks at fundy. "i'm sorry, fundy. h-he's not going to make it."

fundy glares at nihachu. "you didn't even try!" fundy lifts wilbur's shirt, revealing his bloody knife wound. "okay, someone get me some bandages. i can try patch this up." he presses the wound, trying to stop the nonexistent flowing blood.

tubbo opens his mouth slightly, but a sob shakes him. quackity turns tubbo away, putting an arm around him.

camille steps forward, forehead creased. she gently strokes fundy's orange hair, holding back tears.

"w-why is no one doing anything?! nihachu, get the bandages!" fundy desperately turns to nihachu, tears streaming down his face.

nihachu wails, stepping away from wilbur and hugging ranboo. fundy looks at tommy, eyes wide. "t-tommy?"

tommy shakes his head, as he runs his hands through his hair. "wilbur? no. no no no no no." tommy walks backwards, into karl.

karl tries consoling tommy, while fundy looks up at camille with wide, pleading eyes.

"camille, please. he's still there- i believe it! please!"

camille nods. "don't worry, fundy. i'll be right back." rushing away, camille enters the camarvan and rummages through every drawer. she finds some old bandages, and runs back to l'mantree.

"here." camille hands fundy the bandages, and he quickly patches wilbur's wound up.

"it's gonna work it's gonna work it's gonna work." fundy mutters.

camille settles on the ground next to fundy, resting a hand on his arm. "hey. fundy, i'm sorry. wilbur's... wilbur's gone. i know this isn't easy for you, but you-"

"YOU KNOW THIS ISN'T EASY FOR ME?" fundy yells, standing up.

camille stands up quickly, ignoring her slight head rush. "h-huh?"

"he was my dad, camille. MY FUCKING DAD."

the tears fall from camille's eyes. "i'm sorry! i shouldn't have said that. of course i don't understand, fundy. i'm here for you, if you ever need to talk!" camille tries.

fundy glares at her, his eyes burning into her soul. suddenly, his eyes betray his true feelings. deep down, he's tired and sad. the anger he was showing was nowhere to be seen. "i... i'm sorry, camille. i just..."

camille nods slowly, wrapping her arms around fundy. "it's okay." fundy cries, his tears falling on her shoulder.

and so, the war ended. l'manberg had won, but at what cost?
