• Tom Eddsworld •

Night falls on Edd's house. All is silent except for the faint sound of the wind rattling Tom's bedroom window. Streetlight filters through the curtains, casting long shadows on the floor.

Inside the room, Tom sits on the bed, hunched over slightly. His hands rest on his legs, but his gaze is fixed on the floor. He doesn't move much… as if the room feels emptier than usual.

In one corner of the room, where Susan used to be, there is now only empty space.

Tom: …

She lightly clenches her fingers, as if remembering something that is no longer there.

Tom: …This feels so strange.

He leans back a little, looking at the ceiling, but his eyes have no real focus.

Tom: Before… there was something here.

Silence.

Her expression doesn't change much, but her voice sounds lower than usual.

Tom: It wasn't "just a bass guitar"...

He pauses for a moment, as if he were bothered by admitting it even out loud.

Tom: …Susan.

He sits up slowly and looks at the empty space again.

Tom: He was always there when I didn't want to talk to anyone…

Pause.

Tom: It's too quiet now.

He runs a hand over his face, frustrated, but he doesn't explode as usual. He just... stays still.

Tom: Tch… how stupid.

But he doesn't sound really angry. He sounds tired.

Suddenly, she hears footsteps outside the hallway. She glances up, barely interested… though something in her expression changes slightly when she notices someone approaching her room.

Tom: …

He falls silent again, staring towards the door.

Tom: …What do you want?

His voice is dry again… but less loud than usual.
