'i cant believe we are married now' the bird said

'yes ikr' tom replied

'tom'

'yes?'

'love is nothing but a lie'

'what?' tom asked in confusion

The Bird pulled a glistening sharp sword out of his wing, 'Love is nothing but a lie. It's an illusion, a piece of manipulation.' he said calmly. Without a moment's hesitation he stabbed Tom with the sword, sending him to fall to the ground.

'I trusted you. I loved you.' Tom said, choking on his breath.

'Yes. I still trust you, and I still love you. But love, it hurts. Toasters? They don't, unless you throw them in a bathtub of course.'

'All this- just for a toaster?'

Tom nodded, 'I'll see you soon Tom. But for now, goodbye.'

The Bird took a final look at Tom as he took his last dying breath. The Bird sighed, put his sword back behind his wing, and finally he turned away from Tom.
