Sometimes he forgot that Techno had been in the same place as him, and god if remembering that didn’t make him feel a sliver of hope. “Yeah- and it took a while, but one day I realized that they weren’t trying to do that.

I know you’re a good kid, even if you’ve convinced yourself that you’re not.”Then Techno grabbed a book just a few shelves above where Tommy was standing. He looked at the cover for a moment before he put the book under his arm.“I’ve found what I was looking for, what about you?”“I don’t need anything.”-----------Or Tommy is fostered by SBI and he's convinced they don't like him
