It was about 6:30 am when Tord was awoken by his nightmare. So he decided to just stay awake and get ready for the day. He was out walking and looking around. "So many old memories..." He said to himself as he walked around and saw all the different stores in the downtown area. "Like when Matt almost shit himself going to see a Disney movie...or...when Tom started crying after seeing pineapples at the store...or when Edd adopted Ringo at that old run down pet store..." Tord said to himself not noticing he was lightly crying. He kept walking a little ways and wasn't paying attention until he ran into somebody. "I'm sorry let me help you-" Tord said as he stood up rubbing his head. Once he saw who he had bumped into he ran behind a building as fast as he could. The person he had ran into was Tom. Tom looked up and was confused when he saw nobody. "Um? Hello?" Tom said as he stood up and looked around. Tord gathered up all the courage he had and decided to come out of his hiding spot.

"Hello Tom..." Tord said in a nervous voice. Tom was speechless until he put on a slight smile. Tord was relieved and smiled back. "Listen Tom...I'm really sorry...I just found this note and it said horrible things and it said if I didn't do what I was told bad things would happen to you guys and I...I was just trying to protect you! I swear!" Tord said with pleading eyes. Tom walked up to him keeping that smile on his face. "You know...I would get it if you said you were protecting us from life...cause you did try to kill us Tord..." Tom said his smile falling. "After all that happened I turned into a protecting freak who couldn't leave his friends alone! Matt hates himself now and can't stand looking at himself! And Edd...Edd's almost an alcoholic now Tord...he cuts...and drinks...and somehow is still his cheery self...both me and Matt have tried to help...but its no use...almost all his smiles are fake now Tord...all because of YOU!" Tom yelled as he pushed Tord down to the ground. "So I hope you're happy..." Tom turned and ran the other direction, tears pouring from his eyes. (Or...holes?)

Tord sat up and looked down. He started to comprehend everything Tom had just said. He had done all of that...from one mistake. Tord fell to his knees and started sobbing. "Great job Tord...look what you did...you did this...YOU DID THIS!" Tord yelled at himself closing his eyes and hugging himself. Tom walked into the lobby of his apartment complex. Edd was drinking from a water bottle but Tom knew vodka was in there not water. And Matt was down there as well reading a book. When they saw Tom come in they both smiled and waved. "Tom! You're back!" Matt yelled jumping up and down. Edd just smiled and took a sip from his "water".

Tom just passed them and started up the stairs. Both Edd and Matt looked at each other confused. "Tom? What's wrong?" Edd asked walking behind him, Matt following. "I can't tell you..." Tom said, not even turning around. "Why not?" "Because you'd just drink even more than that..." Tom said turning around and pointing to the water bottle before turning back around and heading up the stairs again. Edd put the bottle behind his back and cleared his throat before following Tom again. "Tom please just tell me." Tom stopped and turned around again. "I ran into Tord today..." He said with a serious expression. Matt covered his mouth and Edd dropped the water bottle. Matt walked over to Edd and put a hand on his shoulder. "Edd...are you ok?..." Matt asked as Edd just kept staring. He finally started crying and hugged Matt tightly.

Matt hugged back and sighed. He looked over a Tom with a sad expression as if he was saying do something. Tom thought for a minuet then smiled. "Hey Edd we could go to that coffee shop you like so much. Would that make you feel better?" Edd looked up and smiled wiping the tears away as he nodded.

Back at the Red Army base Paul and Pat were playing a board game. Tord burst into the door crying and holding his hands to his face. Paul and Pat both stood up. "Tord whats wrong?!" Paul yelled as he caught up to Tord and turned him around to face him. Tord removed his hands to show a black liquid coming out his mouth. Paul backed away and Tord fell to his knees as more of that black stuff came pouring out his mouth. "Pat do something! You're the doctor!" Paul yelled shaking Pat by the shoulders. "Ok Ok calm down!" Pat said as he ran into another room. Paul kneeled down and patted Tord on the back. "Its ok...you're going to be ok..." Paul said as he smiled at Tord. Tord looked up and smiled back at Paul. "T-Tom?...I though you were mad at me..." Tord said quietly before passing out on the floor. "Holy shit...PAAAT! He passed out!"

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" Pat yelled as he ran into the room with different medical supplies. He injected something into Tords human arm and quickly removed his robot one. "By the look and the smell of that liquid I can tell its oil. And its obviously coming from his arm." "But why?" "I...don't know...."
