I think a lot of people are taking C!Tommy hearing C!dream out and accepting his reasonings as forgiveness.
In no way was that what it was. C!tommy didn’t forgive C!dream he just simply listened to him and realised that they both had the same motive.
They both wanted peace on the server and to go back to how it all used to be unfortunately C!dream let the idea of power get to his head and let it control him.
C!dream is still a bad person, he openly admitted to torturing C!tommy and not seeing a problem with it because in his eyes C!tommy was the reason for the lack of peace.
Juts like how I’m C!tommys eyes C!dream was the reason for the lack of peace on the server. They both had their motives and they both went about it different ways but in the end the goal was the same.
C!tommy hearing C!dream out and allowing him to explain isnt forgiveness it’s more of a realisation of everything from the last 2 years and how maybe everything could have stayed the same if maybe they just spoke to each other rather than instantly going to fighting.
And C!tommys little sorry at the end wasn’t an apology for the past more of an apology for what was about to happen. C!tommy had just remembered about the nuke, being so caught up with limbo and C!Dreams explanation that he forgot.
Then the alarms go off and that’s when he remembers. C!tommy had signed them up for their death and there was no escape.
Just after they both realised that maybe they can still get peace on the server, maybe they can start to go back to how it all once was and start to heal, the nuke arrives and all hope is lost.
They’re going to die in this prison, hell on earth for both C!tommy and C!dream. Where they both got tortured and where they both lost a final cannon life (C!tommy twice) and it’s all because C!tommy sealed their fate way before by asking C!tubbo to set off the nuke.
That’s what the sorry was for. Apologising for what was about to happen, for sealing their fate, for essentially getting rid of any and all hope they may have had. Not a sorry for his past and definitely not forgiveness for C!dreams actions.
At the end of the day C!dream is still not a good person and C!tommy knows this but that little bit of hope that maybe they could begin to heal and maybe he could be happy with his friends once again and live in peace was all he needed to not want C!Dream dead for good.
