It's been 6 months since Tord made his grand reappearance. 6 months since he returned only for his robot. 6 months before he would make his presence known again.
In the years he was gone, he had joined the infamous Red Army, and became the illusive...
Sure, I may constantly go through hell and back, but at the very least I was able to make amends with Edd.
Once Edd and I got to his apartment, I plopped right on his couch.
"You tired?" Edd asked.
"Why wouldn't I be?"
"True. Well, I'm tired as hell too. Just holler if you need anything."
I nodded as Edd left to prepare for bed. Me? I was too exhausted to do anything, so I just slept on the couch.

I was probably mumbling in my dream about anime tits. I frankly don't remember what I dreamed. Besides, the important part was what I woke up to.
"EDD, WHAT THE FUCK?!"
I immediately shot awake at the yelling.
Oh, Tom's here.
"Tom, I promise you that he's with us!"
"After he betrayed us?!"
I comment on the situation to Edd. "We need to tell him."
Edd nodded, knowing what I was referring to.
"Tom?" Edd asked.
"What?"
"You might wanna sit down for this. It's a long story."
"Oh, and Edd?" I asked. "Get Matt here too."
"Sure thing."
Edd left the room in order to get Matt, leaving Tom and I alone in the room.
We both sat there awkwardly without saying a word. Man, how did visiting old friends become something like this…
Just when I was thinking about saying something, Tom broke the silence.
“What are you actually planning this time…?”
“Huh? Oh, you’ve mistaken me as the Red Leader, right? Lemme explain, so that 'Tord' who betrayed you-”
“Just- QUIT YOUR BULLSHIT MAN!”
Tom cut me off while I was trying to explain everything I know.
“Last time, you were like this too, pretending to be friendly, and gaining everyone’s trust… but seriously, I can never trust you again after what has happened, and if it isn’t for Edd’s sake I would NOT even talk to you.”
“But I’m not-”
“Stop with the lame excuses, just please, leave us alone!” He held his head, refusing to listen to anything that I’m speaking.

The conversation ended with another awkward silence.
“Hey, why’s everyone so gloomy?” Matt walked in with Edd as I let out a sigh of relief.
