No one's POV Edd, Tom, and Matt left to look for at least some apartments since their home that held so many memories was turned into ash. They lived separately, well, Tom lived separately from edd and Matt.
After years of going through anti-depressant pills and each time being scared to drown in tears and blood; days became brighter. He got a job in a flower shop and found a little friend that since then, became his best companion. It was a kitten, to which he named, cotton ball.
After years of going through liquor bottles and needles of drugs through his veins, he decided to stop and find support. He didn't need to rely on drugs or alcohol to feel better anymore, not even self-harm. He did drink from time to time, but not as often as he used to.
His room became cleaner and cleaner, and more lightened in colors. Susan, his precious bass was cleaner than ever, flashing the shiny material as it was played. Bookshelves full of notebooks and chapter books were decorated with polaroid pictures and fairy lights. His desk was surprisingly neat, and posters gave lights to the dark navy walls.
If edd had any more words in his vocabulary, being proud of tom would be an understatement. Tom was genuinely happy for the longest time after the incident. Edd and Tom we're still the best friends as in their childhood, and always talked when they had a chance.
Matt was still matt. His collection of mirrors never once stopped; the guest room was full of them. He was Edd's roommate and boyfriend. They still went on exotic adventures together. Just the two of them, having fun.
Their apartment was a few doors away from Tom's. They sometimes come along to visit the brunette and even go on adventures with him when he's free from work.

Edd was watching a random show on TV as he drank cola. After a while of silence, there was a knock on the door. Edd rolled his eyes and smiled, Matt probably forgot his keys when he left to get milk.
He got up and walked up to the door, expecting to see a nervous Matt that was slowly getting ready to get lectured. He unlocked the door and slowly opened it.
The first thing he saw were combat boots that looked like they would be a little too harsh for Matt. A red hoodie and black ripped jeans was the outfit the person chose. He had a robot arm replacing his original arm that seemed to have been amputated. The male had a honey-brown shade of hair, styled into two devil-like horns.
"T-tord" Edd felt like fainting. The fear and disappointment that started to slowly drown him became more intense as time passed. "H-how... W-why?" "I wanted to apologize for all the shit I've done, I know there's no way to fully forgive what I di—"
Tord was welcomed with a warm hug from edd who was on the verge of tears. Ah edd, the golden heart he had was also making him foolish for forgiving such a monster of a man. "I'm just glad you're okay..." Everything was going fine until—
