"Theseus.."

He couldn't move. He couldn't see.

"Theseus-"

Fingers match around his scrawny throat..threatening to clasp it tight. Fingers that brims a red hue that once sparked a fire..a whole flame.

"Tommy!"

The silent boy gasps, and the red hands have left him unrestrained. He could breathe again..he could see..things again.

What just happened?

Oh yeah..

Dream was captured.

Everything felt..okay again.

People are reuniting.

Those who grieved felt closure.

And he faced someone's apology.

That he's unsure to respond.

The avian pulled his son away, trying to calm Wilbur down. It's been a while since he has seen his brother fall apart.

He's too prideful to break in front of his little brother,

Too prideful to make him see that, he too, can fall apart-

"Tommy..Theseus I-"

"I'll take it from here..He needs to be..away with you guys for a second. It might help."

His shoulder was touched, as his body fell back slightly. Tommy looks up and tilts his head seeing Quackity, who is trying to keep an eye contact against someone that took out a part of what used to be his face.

Techno growls a little, about to take a step forward but Quackity holds his ground, "Techno. Please." He controls his tone, "He needs this. Right now."

The piglin's lips pursed shut but eventually he goes away, joining Phil and Wilbur.
