A/N: I UPDATED THE AFTERLIFE STUFF IN LAST CHAPTER I WOULD SUGGEST REREADING (2/19/21)

also quick update (2/4/22) limbo wasn't a thing yet when i started this story but where tommy is is basically limbo just its not distinctive to one person sorry if its confusing i didnt know how to write the afterlife stuff originally

I watched as the boy named Tubbo in front of me sank into the floor in desperation. Clearly the question I had asked had a viable response; you wouldn't need any words to know the answer to what I had asked. He was in despair seeing me as a ghost, his hands shaking, his eyes leaking tears as he tried to comprehend that someone so close to him was dead. Of course he was important to me anyone could have known that in the moment when his body emanated heartache and grief. It broke my heart to see him like this. Even though i had no memory of our relationship it was like i knew standing there somehow i knew him my whole life.

I leaned down and wrapped my arms around him

" your gonna be ok i'm sure whatever happened with me had nothing to do with you just breathe"

"It was all my fault, it's all my fault" he said repeatedly under his breath

" tubbo breathe it wasn't your fault"

He stopped for a moment taking a shaky breath as if those words struck him in some way. As if he had remembered something the old me had done or said.

It wasnt your fault

Love,

Yours truly tommy/big T

" that wasnt just a letter it was a warning and a a suicide note" he said outloud processing it

I continued to sit by his side comforting him

" i i'm tubbo" he says turning towards me " i i was y your best friend"

" hi im phantommy and i have no clue how i died or why i'm here..." i say

There's silence

" you said something about suicide?" i ask

" yeah i was thinking maybe the letter you gave me yesterday might suggest suicide cause you said it wasnt my fault and you gave me some of your most precious belongings. The only other explanation is dream killed you"

" Whose dream?"

" he's a bad man on this server" he replies

" would you mind helping me find out more about everything that happened there must be a reason i did what i did there just something i'm missing that i can't quite remember"

" of course i'll help you. For you i'll do anything" he says almost giving a smile but still sad looking at his hands on his lap

" you know that sweater you are wearing its mine" he says after a bit of silence

" oh um do you want it back i found it in the hill hole by tubboat i just figured-"

" no no keep it" he says genuinely

There's silence as we look at the tree

" do you think you could get back to logstedchire on your own cause theres a few things i have to take care of before i go with you"

" i dont think so i uh used this compass to get here"

"Ok um you could stay with me for the night i guess and we can leave in the morning after i finish the things i need to do"
