----------------------------------------------------------

Techno's eyes shot back up to cypress.

"We need to go, now." His voice was filled with urgency as he spoke.

He grabbed his axe from where it was propped up against a nearby tree, collecting some other supplies of his that had long been discarded into the snow. Cypress had little time to question this sudden change in mood before techno began following the trail. Cypress took off as well trailing just behind him.

The pair reached the house in record time. Following the trail of blue snow all the way up to the front door, where it stopped. They only slowed their pace once they were a few feet in front of the door.

After catching their breath Techno pulled out his weapon, motioning for Cypress to do the same with the iron sword she hadn't realized she had taken. Techno cautiously opened the door, moving slowly into the main room of the house. The trail of blue had seemingly stopped at the front door, as the house was just as neat as when cypress, techno and tommy had left it hours earlier.

"You take one side, i'll take the other," Techno said before walking towards the rooms on one side of the house.

Cypress checked the basement and attic while techno checked the bedrooms, their nerves growing as more time passed. Once the rooms were adequately checked techno and cypress met once again in the main room, both empty handed.

"The only place left is the study," Cypress said remembering the small room tucked away in a separate section of the house, a room techno had forgotten about.

He nodded before joining cypress in walking towards said room.

Both of their hearts were beating far too fast to notice the fact that their hands were interlocked.

Techno pushed open the door to his study, his eyes scanned the room before they found what they were looking for. Standing just behind his desk was technoblades dead brother.

The sound of techno's netherite axe hitting the floor echoed through the room, alerting the dead man of the pair's presence. The ghost turned around. Instead of Wilbur's usually deep smooth voice a much higher, shallow voice spoke.

"Oh! Hello Techno,"

"Wha- how- i- i thought you were dead?" Techno said struggling to pick just one question to ask the ghost.

"Technically, i am dead. I'm a ghost, Ghostbur," The ghost said, smiling when he said his own name.

"how are you here," Techno asked again.

"Tommy let me in, have you seen him, he's grown so much-" Ghostbur said, completely missing the point of the question.

"Yeah i know," Techno said having calmed down from the initial shock of seeing his brother. Shock now replaced by greif.

Cypress grabbed technos hand again, this time on purpose, in an attempt to comfort him. She squeezed his hand gently and turned to leave the two brothers alone. The look in her eyes was strange, it bordered on pity for techno, but held a different quality. One he could not place if he tried, and he did.

"Your cypress right," The ghost said as she was leaving the room

She turned back around and nodded. Ghostbur floated to where cypress was stood before speaking again, his legs clipping through Technos desk as he moved.
