Summary
“You keep trying to pretend that Ghostbur, the person you were during the Revolution—that they’re different people, but they aren’t, are they? You act like you’ve gone through some monumental change, but you haven’t. You haven’t changed at all, and neither have I. I-”
He plants carrots instead of potatoes to try and hide from an unmarked grave his weary body was never buried in, but there are still potatoes in his garden and there is still a grave and still a body. Tommy does not like to think of the past, but he can’t move on from it either. He is not a ghost, but he is and he is a shadow as well. There are carrots where there didn’t used to be, but some things never seem to change. Potatoes, for one. Wilbur, for another. Tommy, himself, for a third.
“I don’t think we’re capable of it,” he says. “That’s our problem.”

Summary
But Wilbur is a ball and chain in the middle of the sea, slowly but steadily dragging himself down to the ocean floor with Tommy unknowingly trapped inside his cuff. It’s unfair that Tommy has had to drown with Wilbur for so many years, desperately trying to swim both of them back to the surface. It’s fruitless, and Tommy wonders sometimes if it would be better to just cut the chain that binds them together. To let Wilbur sink on his own, while Tommy heads for air.
He could never do that though; as much as he wants to. He’ll let Wilbur sink them both, and Tommy will swim and thrash as the surface grows more and more distant. Hoping and wishing for a lifeboat. For someone to help them to shore, and to pull Tommy’s freezing body into their warm, loving arms and drape a towel over his wet shoulders.
He thinks Phil might be that person, Techno too. Tommy wants to let them be and he wishes for Wilbur to want that too.
OR: Wilbur and Tommy are brothers in the foster system. Wilbur is struggling with addiction, Tommy is always left to pick up the pieces. But now with Techno and Phil here, hopefully they’ll be able to help. (Only Wilbur does not want help.)
