    Summary

    Debarking, also known as devocalization - a surgical procedure of removing a part of a dog's vocal cords to make its bark quiter.

    ---

    For as long as Tommy could remember, he had been compared to a dog. A stray, Techno called the street kid Wilbur dragged in who had more dirt on him than clothes. Wilbur's hound clung to him throughout L'Manberg's war for independence, praised for his unwavering loyalty to his brother and his fierceness in combat. Tubbo likened him to a touch-starved puppy on days when he was feeling particularly clingy. Tommy grumbled but didn’t really mind it—after all, they were just words. They didn’t mean anything.

    That is, until Dream decides to take the metaphor one step further.

    Summary

    This is routine by now. Dick doesn’t even have to think about it anymore when he shoves his fingers down his throat until his gag reflex kicks in, and everything he ate at the party makes its way right back up.

    I will gladly get fat from this cake.

    God, why did he need to have such a big slice? Even if he only got through half of it before running off, it still counts. The calories are still there. Why did he have to have cake at all? Dick already had three meat skewers and four cubes of cheese since the party began. How could he have been so careless?

    Summary

    Tim is acting erratic—spending thousands of dollars on things he'll never use, starting projects and not finishing them, blowing up over small issues at the drop of a hat. As the behavior quickly spirals out of control, Bruce starts to wonder if maybe he doesn't know his son as well as he thought he did.

    Summary

    Bruce’s first instinct is to check for open wounds. Then he makes sure that Tim is breathing and that he was not correct in his mistaking Tim for a corpse. He seems fine, relatively speaking. The bowl of ice cream and expensive bottle of rum on the countertop evoke many questions.

    Bruce shakes Tim’s shoulder. “Tim?” Tim makes a sound that is not quite a word, so much as several vowels carelessly strung together. “Son? Are you alive?”

    Tim groans, not lifting his head. “No.”

    Bruce eyes the bottle of rum. It’s several ounces short. “Either my calendar is a day off, or yours is.”

    Summary

    Dana sits up so she can look at Tim better, more like two adults having a conversation and less like a stepmother talking to her kid. Tim always liked that about Dana. “I know it’s been hard these past couple of years. Losing your mom, then me showing up, and the move away from Bristol. You’re a teenager, and that alone comes with all sorts of changes and confusion. I get it. And I don’t want you to feel like you can’t talk to me about stuff.”

    “Like what?”

    Dana smiles gently at him, like she knows something he doesn’t. “Like anything you want.” She thumbs a smudge of pizza sauce off his cheek. “I know I’m not your mom. And I promised you I wouldn’t ever try to take her place if you didn’t want me to, but I do love you, Tim. That’s never going to change. Got it?”
