Edd, Matt, and Tom were playing a board game. Specifically, they were playing Monopoly. Matt and Tom weren't in "jail" yet, but Edd was, although he chose not to get out of "jail". He said that we wanted to roam around outside.
"But it's raining, Edd." Tom stated. "You sure you want to go out there?"
"Yeah, I'm sure." Edd responded.
"Why? You never roam around in the rain."
"Oh... it's because I want to try something new."
Edd went to his room to retrieve and equip his raincoat and umbrella. He then went outside, into the rain which included a little darkness. Usually, he didn't go outside when it rained, but the truth is... he was looking for Tord. If he told Tom the truth, then Tom might have gotten upset.
Although Tord blew up their old house, shot a harpoon at the neighbors and killed Jon, punched Matt in the face, and tried to take over the world altogether, Edd believed that the norwegian deserved forgiveness. Edd believed that everyone deserved forgiveness, no matter what they've done.
Edd walked on the sidewalks with little puddles of water, as rain fell onto his umbrella and trickled on the edges. He eventually heard sniffling over the sound of raindrops. The man in the green hoodie looked around him, searching for what could possibly be the answer to where the crying was coming from. He then walked some more, thinking that maybe the crying was coming from further away. Edd stopped in his tracks, and looked around him again. The sound of quiet cries grew louder. Edd soon saw where it was coming from.
It was Tord. He was curled up, and quietly muttering,
"I'm sorry..."
Edd felt sympathy, despite the fact that Tord almost killed one of his friends. But the thing is, he can't help but feel sorrow for his old friend.
By terms of "old friend", Tord and Edd knew each other for a long time. Ever since Edd was 7 years old and Tord was 6, they knew each other. It's been about 20 years or so, Edd now being 28 and Tord at the age of 27.
Edd walked to Tord. The man in the red hoodie looked up at the man in the green hoodie.
"E-Edd?" Tord stuttered through tears. "Why are you walking in the rain?"
"I was looking for you." Edd calmly answered.
"Why?" Tord asked. "After all that I've done to you. Why do you still care for me? I almost killed one of your actual friends. And I punched the other one in the face. I've killed multiple people. And... you still care for me. How?"
"You're my childhood friend. My actual childhood friend." Edd responded. "When we met, you were alone. I was the only one who wanted to be your friend back then, right?
"And I thought that since you seemed pretty lonely, I should be your friend. And... I was also pretty lonely back then. We were each other's first friend, weren't we?"
"Yes...we were." Tord muttered.
Edd sat down next to Tord and hugged him. Tord then hugged Edd very tightly.
"I'm sorry." Tord cried.
Meanwhile...
Tom put on his raincoat and went outside to search for Edd.
"EDD!!!" Tom yelled. "Where are you!?"
Tom walked further in search for Edd. He wondered if Edd was really just roaming around, or if he was lying. The british man was worried for him. Tom looked around himself, hoping to find Edd. He didn't see Edd in his sight. Walking further in hopes of finding his friend, Tom looked around himself as he took more steps forward. He eventually heard crying, just like Edd did while looking for Tord.
The british being darted his eyes to where he heard crying, thinking that those cries were Edd's. It turns out, it was Tord crying, as Edd was hugging him, in hopes of comforting the norwegian.
Tom was about to yell in anger before he heard Edd say something to Tord.
"It's okay... I forgive you."
Tom was shocked by this; Edd forgiving the one who has done many cruel things.
"Edd." He said to Edd. "Why would you forgive somebody who did many terrible actions?"
Edd looked at Tom, and calmly replied, "Everyone deserves to be forgiven. Even those who did horrible things."
