Editing Quest:Ruby Quest/Characters (section)

== Tom ==
'''Tom''' is Ruby's only friend in this place. He is a gentleman, strong and silent, but more than willing to offer information and suggestions about things he knows. He was initially detached towards Ruby, but after the two have repeatedly saved each others' lives, it seems he has grown quite a liking towards her. Unfortunately, circumstances have put a bit of a gap between Tom and Ruby - a gap born of caution and fear. 

He is well known for his MANLY PHYSIQUE, and is needed for most anything that requires strength to accomplish. Tom has a second pair of TINY ARMS sprouting from his stomach. Over the course of the adventure, he loses his right eye, and Ruby once unintentionally poisoned him with fish. She brought him the antidote and apologized, but still almost killed the poor guy. (Not that he would have died anyway...)

Tom clearly has feelings for Ruby. He kissed her early on after being inspired by Ruby's constant hugs, though Ruby found this a bit awkward at the time. However, after finding a note in his own handwriting warning him not to trust "7" (Ruby), and later viewing a video where Ruby murdered him in cold blood while they were making out, he freaked out, temporarily separating from Ruby. After rejoining later, he appears to have regained his trust by the end of the story, kissing Ruby before attempting to sacrifice himself so that she could escape the facility.

'''END SPOILERS:''' <br />
During the end cutscene, Tom discards an unread note which reveals that the character he and Ruby had thought to be Subject 6 was actually Subject 5, "Tom." As far as we know, this means that neither Tom or Ruby know Tom's real identity. Tom MAY still be his true name, as there were two Toms in Animal Crossing--the raccoon Tom Nook and Tom the cat).
