Hey guys, I'm posting this early cause I'm quite bored and honestly a bit burnt out. The whole story's kinda flopping right now but I'm still motivated to finish this. Got some plot advancements happening.

"Tommy hold this please, and try to remember the time you first saw this." Ghostbur said as he handed Tommy like the 5th item that day.

Tommy's eyes were half way marbled between the two shades.

He could see the others better, and recognise them as well. He seemed to trust them too. He also could hear better aswell. Techno's plan was to get Tommy to a stage where he trusted them enough to remove the bandanna.

Tommy was still meek, but they assumed it was due to the enchantment's allure.

Ghostbur handed Tommy the disc of Pigstep, but with their special vocal track accompanying it. It was mainly Tommy rapping, Techno beatboxing and the other two laughing their heads off in the background.

"I remember we made this as a family, back when I was young, before L'manburg and the war." Tommy muttered.

"Tommy, what else about the war do you remember?" Ghostbur questioned.

This is a breakthrough.

He hadn't been able to recall the country him and Wilbur made. This could be amazing in the recovery. In the war, Dream was awful to him, this could get him out of his, 'My OnLy PuRpOsE iS bEiNg DrEaM's ToY.' Mindset. If that's possible, that is.

Tommy darkened as he recalled the events. Or at least, he thought.

"Me and Wilby made L'manburg, Dream always tried to stop it. It was for the good. No he was a bitch. No he was trying to do what's best for me as a friend and thinking like this is not loy-"

"Shhhh, strawberry, he's manipulating you. He has a condition where he has an unhealthy infatuation of you. (OLD or Obsessive love disorder for you curious beans.) He has a deep desire for you, treating you more as a prized object. Real friends love you for you, not a possession."

Tommy started to silently tear up.

It was scary how good Tommy had gotten at silent crying. He would have had to had experience in it. Guilt was added to the already sky-high pile in Techno's chest.

Tommy started to scream. He threw himself to the floor in what seemed like pain. He seemed like he was having a panic attack.

Techno quick came to the ground from which Tommy landed after throwing himself off the bed. He tried to comfort, Tommy stopped screaming but tears fell like a waterfall.

Ghostbur, scared by the commotion, disappeared through the floor, Techno vaguely making out him talking about finding friend.

"Please, I dont want the bandanna anymore. It's too loud. I can't think! I can't! Please, I can't physically myself. It's-it's not normal!" Tommy cried.

And with that, Techno snatched off the bandanna.

Tommy quieted as he fell asleep in tears across the floor.

The bandanna was creepy. He felt another voice faintly talking to him with him just barely touching it. It wouldn't shut up about Dream being the best and kindest and the most amazing.

Tommy's pocket started to shake.

Techno reached in and pulled out a fuming blob.

It was a little white blob with a smiley face, like Dream's mask on a little guy. It was making angry squeaks without opening its mouth. It was smaller than his hand, perfect for spying on people unsuspectingly.

Techno crushes the blob between him palm, it letting out a last squeak of pain.

What ever it's purpose, it's done now.

Now they have to wait till Tommy wakes up again.

Techno lifts the blonde to the bed.

Goodnight Theseus.

Water calms out to an icy halt, not allowing to push further ashore.

He calmly picks himself up, hopping out and tying the boat the a newly placed fence. He'd hopefully be returning in it soon with a precious sun.

God he still was miles away, but the sea stops here.

He trekked through the ice and snow regardless.

He just needed to get there.

Needed to have his sun back in his galaxy.

His life wasn't anything worth it without him.

What is a planet without the sun to orbit, to follow?

To cherish.

Small crunches of snow echoed out on the vast plains.

'I'll be there soon Toms'
