Tom sat on the roof of the apartment watching the sunset, the giggling of his Tomsworld and Opposite self rang through his ear making his lips curl onto a subtle frown.

"--the one that would hurt you the most and exchange you for someone whose friendship they value more than yours despite what had happened, I know"

Tom leaned against Mattsworld Tom and watched as the two Toms play with Ringo and their respective Tords.

"no! You're turning 21 tomorrow! Just hang on"
"I can't"
