Toby's smile suddnly turned to a frown one he turned his back and saw maria crying. Flashbacks of him looking at lyra crying on the floor from her dad rushed in to tobys mind. He stood there in silence while the elf boy was infront of him trying to get his attention. "TOBY!! HEY TOBY!! TOBBBYYYY!!!" He said jumping and waving his hands in the air. The elf boy paused for a moment. ".....Im gonna regret this.." He said to himself. He backed away from toby alittle and yelled "TOBIAS!!!" Toby suddenly got out of his trance and grabed his axe. "Who said that?!?!" He growled. Ben suddenly teleported away, up to his room. Toby saw Ben leave and he droped his axes. "...." Toby stood in silence and hugged his arms. "Dont call me that..." He said sofly and walked to the couch where he curled into a ball and sobbed slightly. Masky came out from the porch amd went into the kitchen, not noticing Toby crying. Toby, on the other hand, Heard masky and he got up quietly and walked over. "Masky..?" He said quietly. Masky turned around "Sup To-.... You alright ..?" He asked kindly. Toby shook his head 'no' and teared up. Masky went over to the small boy and hugged him tightly. Toby hugged back and sobbed into the masked man's shoulder. Masky started reassuring him with calming words. "Its okay toby.. Shhhh" He said calmly. "I cant. I cant. Its not okay.. so many.. memories.. i cant do it anymore.." He cried. "You can.. you can do it toby. Stop saying you cant. its gonna bring you down even more." Toby paused again and had another flashback. Him and Lyra on his bed crying from their father who was yelling their names from downstairs. "TOBIAS!! LYRA!! GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT YOU LITTLE $@&#" Mr. Rogers screamed. (Out of flashback) Toby broke down in more tears as he let go of masky and ran out the door and into the woods. "TOBY!!!" Masky yelled and chased after him.
