TORDS POV
"Them telling me I'm crazy? They're the one who made me leave. I was the best leader they could have asked for."
Key word: was.

Let me introduce myself. I'm Tord Larkin. I was the leader of an army. Until I got into an 'accident'. After a year had passed since the 'accident', I started showing emotions.
No leader is allowed to show emotion, and if they did, they would show a sign of weakness. You would be deemed crazy. Sure I did blow up my friends house, kill their neighbour and some other things, I am still human. They forced me to do it. After that, I stole some of the army's money and bought myself an apartment.

TIME SKIP

I was walking to the store when I heard hisses coming from an alleyway. I walked over and I saw a large dog approaching a grey cat.

"HEY! Pick on someone your own size!"

I scared off the dog and slowly walked to the cat. It whimpered when I picked him up.
I scratched behind his ear and the cat purred. I walked home carrying a sleeping cat.

Hmm, I wonder where the owner is? It had a collar and looked at it. My face went dark.
This is Edd's cat! Dammit. Of course it would be Edd's cat. I heard they moved into a nice apartment 2 blocks away from mine.

I walked the 2 blocks and asked the lady at the front which door was Edd's.

"Its room 118 on the 3rd floor."

She did a forced smile, and I don't blame her. Half my face was bloody and torn. I walked up the stairs and looked at Edd's door. If Edd tries to stab me, just let it happen ok? I told myself. I knocked on the door, Ringo now awake.

"I'm coming!" Edd shouted.

I heard the door open and Edd try to say hello.

"Hi the-"

He stared at me, horrified. My face wasn't treated, I just left it like that and my arm was amputated. Replaced with a robotic one.

"H-hi... I found your cat in an alleyway, almost eaten by a dog..."
"TORD!! I missed you so much!"
"...???..."

Did he just say he missed me? I seriously need to get my hearing checked. Edd brought me inside and took Ringo into his room. He came back with bandages.

"E-Edd? Why did you bring me in? I literally blew up your house."
"Everyone needs a second chance!"
"...yeah, everyone but me..."
"What?"
"Nothing!"

He patches up my face and askes what else needs to be treated.

"Nothing else!"
"Tord... your hand is red."
"Ummmm... it's nothing!" Edd knew I was lying. He always did.

He told me to take off my hoodie. I did what he asked. He looked at my arm and hugged me.

"Edd? What are you doing?"
"Y-your arm.."
"Edd please, I'm fine."

He nods and invites me to stay.

"Is Tom around?"
"He's next door."
"Edd, can you tell him something for me?"
"Of course!"
"Tell him I am so sorry. I never wanted to hurt you guys. I was forced to. I had to. Or I would have been killed."
"Ok...well you can sleep on the couch, make yourself comfortable ok?"
"Sure thing Edd."

Tom is going to be very upset.
