Chapter Three: Forgiving
(A/N: AWWWW! Translation: Cute ending is Cute.)
When I arrived at Tom Nook's shop, he said- "Why hello, are you here to buy something, hm?" "No, not at all, I have something for you." I said. "You want to give me something? Alright, how much do you want for it, hm?" "Not for any Bells, I need you to have it." I replied. His usual indifferent look turned to one of curiosity. "But first, I have a question." I said. "Yes, hm?" He asked. "Have you been sending me blue letters?" I asked. "Why would it matter if I sent you blue letters, or blue envelopes? Hm?" He asked. "Not blue envelopes, or written letters, but Blue Cutout Letters?" I asked. "Why, no. Have you been getting these 'Blue Letters'?" "Yes." I said. "Interesting. So, what is it you want to give me?" He asked. "This, this… Statue of you and Sable." I said. He eyed it curiously, and then asked- "Where… Where… Where did you get this…?" He questioned, shocked. "Long story…" So, with that I explained about the blue letters, the keys, and the secret staircase. "And… And this pretty much all took place in your own home?!" He asked. "Yes… It did." I said. "I… I'm sorry." He whispered. "For what?" I asked. He completely ignored me. "I'm sorry, Sable… I changed… I was pure, and genuine, that's what you told me anyway… The city changed me… I care not for happiness anymore… But for Bells…" Those words touched me… He… Cared for something, finally cared for something, other than Bells. He suddenly hugged me. "Thank you… Sean." He left, to next door, to the Able Sister's shop, He left with a smile, and with Sable. I saw them walk to the river and sit; they talked for hours, and hours, and hours. Then they fell asleep by the river, and… The smile never left Tom's Face.
