Tree was wandering around in the hotel's lobby. Most of DPA was either somewhere else or on a scavenging mission. Winner was with Grassy, playing around with them. Clock was in the corner again. He then heard a ding. He quickly looked over to the elevator. The door opened, and Snowball exited the elevator with Fanny. Lightning flew out after the two.

≪ °❈° ≫

Snowball helped Fanny onto the couch. Lightning noticed Tree out of the corner of his eye. "Oh, hey Tree!" He said, flying over. "Hello, Lightning. How are you doing?" Tree replied. "I'm doing pretty good! I'm just helping Snowball take care of Fanny." He said cheerfully. "That's nice. Have you seen any of the others?" Lightning thought for a moment. "I'm pretty sure Black Hole left with Eraser and Pen to scavenge for supplies. I think Pie's with Marker on the 2nd floor." Lightning replied.

≪ °❈° ≫

"Thank you, Lightning." Tree said before walking off towards the stairs. "No problem!" He flew back over to his two friends and sat down on the couch. Pie and Marker were in the hall of the 2nd floor. Pie was sitting on a sofa while Marker was playing with a pile of dirt. "Pie, are you sure you don't wanna play eat the dirt?" Marker questioned. "Yeah. I'm sure." Pie replied, resting her head onto one of the arms. "Okie Dokie." Marker then continued to play his game. "Hey, you two." Tree said, walking into the hall.

≪ °❈° ≫

"Hi Tree! :)" Marker waved over to the oak tree. "Hey Tree.." Pie said, doing a small wave. "How are you two?" Tree asked before sitting down onto the sofa. "I'm doing great!" Marker quickly replied, lifting his hands in the air. "I'm doing alright." Pie commented, beginning to dooze off. "Tired?" Tree looked over to Pie. "Yeah.. Golfball has had me help her with a lot of tasks recently." Pie replied. "I can help you to your room, if you want me to." Pie then nodded. Tree then picked up Pie and brought her to her room. "Thanks.." Pie said before heading to bed.

Tree then walked back over to Marker, who was still eating from his pile of dirt. "Marker, dirt isn't the greatest thing to eat.." Marker looked up to him. "Why not?" He questioned, tilting his head. "Well, it can get stuck in your teeth and ruin your hygiene." Tree answered. "Plus it's pretty harmful to the body.." Marker thought for a moment. "Can I still play with dirt?" Tree nodded and Marker excitedly went back to playing with his dirt pile. Tree smiled a bit before heading to the 3rd floor.

≪ °❈° ≫

As he walked around the hall of the 3rd floor. He noticed a door slightly open. Usually, Tree would've just left it alone. But today, he was feeling a bit interested. So, he peeked his head through. There was Clock, curled in a ball ontop of his bed. "Clock?" Tree said, entering the room. "What... do you want?" Clock said, looking at Tree. "What's wrong?" He questioned. "Everything..." Clock quickly replied. "I know how you feel." Tree said, hopping onto the bed. "Do you really? Nothing horrible has happened to you." Clock said, obviously frustrated by the comment. "You didn't lose all your friends. You didn't witness someone ruthlessly murder everyone you trusted. You weren't damaged beyond repair! You DON'T know how I feel AT ALL!" Clock shouted. Tree jumped a bit, he wasn't expecting Clock to start getting mad at him.

≪ °❈° ≫

"Nothing bad has happened to you at all! You've been perfectly fine during this entire thing ever since it started!" Clock added. "HOW WOULD YOU KNOW HOW I FEEL-" He was interrupted as Tree hugged the broken clock. "I'm sorry." He said. "I might not know exactly how you feel. But all I know is you need comforting.." Clock couldn't do anything but cry. Tree spent a few hours, comforting Clock.

Tree was now back on the 1st floor, playing with Grassy and Winner. He then looked towards the entrance. Puffball was unlocking the door. Once, she was done. BH, Eraser, and Pen entered the hotel. Puffball then immediately locked the door after. Tree quickly ran over BH. "Hey BH!" Tree said with a smile. "Oh- Hey Tree." BH replied, looking over to him. "How did it go?" Tree questioned. "It went.. alright. We did find an entire stash in the forest." BH replied. "That's amazing!" Tree said with a cheerful smile. "Yeah.." If BH had a face, he'd be smiling too. Tree's presence always seemed to lighten anyone's mood.

≪ °❈° ≫

"Well, I'm gonna go hang out with the others.." BH then flew away. Tree walked over to Puffball. "Hey Puffball, could I leave for a moment?" Puffball looked over to Tree, surprised that he wanted to leave. "Uhhh-" Puffball didn't really want to reject Tree but Golfball advise her to only let the scavenging team out. "Please?" Tree asked. Puffball sighed. "Fine but please be careful." She then unlocked the door, letting Tree leave.

≪ °❈° ≫

Tree looked up at the sun, it was quite refreshing. He then headed into the forest. While he knew it was dangerous, he didn't care. He found an empty area and sat in the middle. He then began to hum. Birds came out of hiding and sat near the tree. They quickly left once a bird had a black object impaled into them. As the object was pulled out of the body. Tree picked up the poor bird and buried them. He looked back, a scythe close to his throat. "Remote.." He said, looking up to her with a smile.

≪ °❈° ≫

"..." She didn't say anything, simply continued to hold her scythe near Tree's throat. "Long time since we last met, isn't it?" He said, picking himself up. He sighed and picked some flowers, turning them into a crown. He then placed the crown ontop of Remote. She still didn't react. Tree then hugged Remote, casually dodging her scythe swing. After the hug, he placed a flower onto the bird's grave and waved goodbye to Remote.

≪ °❈° ≫

Tree headed back to the hotel. Puffball opened the door, about to say something. "I'm fine, nothing happened." Tree said. Puffball sighed in relief as Tree entered the hotel. Per usual, she locked the door after him. "Thanks Puffy!" He then walked back to the sofa with the others. Snowball, Fanny, Lightning, Winner and Grassy al welcomed Tree back before they then began to play charades.

≪ °❈° ≫

All Tree could do was smile cheerfully. Even after everything that's been going on. He was happy to have even a few friends to spend time with.
