Locked away behind the thick obsidian walls, the infamous Dream has finally taken down his one true enemy; Tommyinnit. The child who had created all the chaos, a co-leader of L'manberg, the nation which had cost Dream so much. And now, the child was dead. But, the aftermath was something Dream nor anyone expected.
Tubbo's life is in shambles; his best friend is gone, his other friend is becoming more violent with each passing day. But he can't fix all his mistakes, maybe only one. But to do that, Tubbo must face the man who took his best friend away in the first place.
The grief is almost too much for Puffy, but Sam doesn't seem to realise it. Locked in a constant battle of fights and disagreements, Sam and Puffy must work together as they work against each other to protect the ones of innocent, the ones who are alone.
A group of people thrown together in an attempt to protect one another. A broken boy, a lost enderling, a grieving woman, a man who feels he isn't doing enough. Will they be able to overcome everything Dream has thrown at them, everything the SMP has thrown at them?
Or will the fallout of it all be too much to handle?

"Dream, the only friend he had left in the world.
God, Tommy never would have imagined he would see the day he would say such a thing regarding the masked man.
And yet Dream brought a sense of calm, a sense of soothing.
He made Tommy feel safe, he chased away the demons of loneliness, he was there for the young boy.
Tommy couldn't be more thankful for all Dream had done for him."
3 months was all it took for Tommy Innit to fall right into Dream's waiting arms.
Years was all it took for Tubbo to realise that exiling Tommy was the worst mistake he ever could have made.
Moments was all it took for L'Manburg to fall.
