The Only Promise That Matters Is That I Have Never Given Up On You

Final part of the series starting with When did you realize I wasn't good enough? Tell me before I go

An eerie calm washed through Tommy's body. For the first time in a long time, he finally felt alright with the world. Peace had found him in the midst of tragedy, and he could feel the snowy white dove had landed on his shoulder. A song of freedom and hard-fought happiness filled the air like grating sirens that echoed through the obsidian halls. This was it. This was the accumulation of every action he had ever taken, every word he ever said, every thought that bloomed in his head, every bridge he built and burned, every person he had ever known, for better or worse. A smile found its way onto his face.

Tommy moved all the stuff that was in his former house into the community house. He destroyed anything he deemed useless, but the majority of his belongings were stored away in the wooden chests that anyone could access if they needed something. He wondered briefly if anyone would be slightly concerned that they were taking what used to be the TommyInnit's, the infamous teenager of the DreamSMP.

"We didn't have to move everything, you know. We could have moved a lot of this stuff to Kinoko Kingdom," SapNap told Tommy, looking at the chest closest to the door the two of them had been walking in and out of. SapNap lifted up a journal that Tommy had written jokes in. SapNap flipped through the pages with a wistful expression on his face. "Why wouldn't you want to keep these things?"

"Fuck off. It was my decision," Tommy snapped. His anger was weak, and SapNap's tight expression made that abundantly clear. Tommy almost started yelling, but the noise fell flat on his tongue. All he could muster up was a growl that sounded like a defeated sigh. Tommy sat on one of the chests, ignoring the way his brain reminded him of all the photographs he stashed away in this one. He made sure they were all neutral photographs of locations instead of putting in photos of people. Those photographs were tucked away in his Enderchest, and they would be moved to a different location later in the day when SapNap wasn't there to realize what Tommy was doing.

Well, SapNap knew what he was doing, but he was pretending like he could talk Tommy out of whatever decision came to his mind. Tommy, and probably SapNap, knew that there wasn't any chance anyone was going to talk Tommy out of his choices. He had made a lot of shitty ones before, but he felt like he finally found the best path. He was finally going to do something right. It was a big change, Tommy thought, but everyone changes.

Tommy placed a hand to his chest. He wondered what SapNap was doing at that moment. He wondered if he was curled in his bed with Karl at his side. He wondered if he was gardening with George while they joked about things. He wondered if he was helping Bad with one of his building projects. He wondered if he was trying to make amends with Quackity. Tommy was glad that only things came to head. SapNap was one of the rare people who changed in a positive way. SapNap had taken a good long look at his life, and he decided that he wanted to be better. Kinoko Kingdom was proof of that, and Tommy was incredibly proud of SapNap.

"I think I've found what I'm looking for," Tommy whispered, holding a piece of paper against his heart. When he closed his eyes, he could see every swooping letter and thin line that Techno had painstakingly wrote onto the page. There were a lot of eraser marks, and Tommy was certain that if he looked long enough, he could see what Techno had wanted to say to him before he decided on the words he left behind.

"I'm glad, Theseus," Techno told him. He didn't whisper like Tommy did, but his voice was naturally quiet and low-pitched. It was especially quiet when it was surrounded by the silence of the rising sun over the bitterly cold snow biome.
