As Stan started the StanMobile, Kiana took the front seat, and Dipper and Mabel squeezed into the back. The atmosphere inside the car was somber, the reality of Kiana's loss hanging heavy in the air.

Kiana stared out the window, watching the familiar scenery of Gravity Falls pass by. It all felt surreal, as if the world had shifted on its axis. The forest, the mystery shack, the quirky town—everything she had known was now colored by the absence of her parents.

Stan broke the silence, trying to lighten the mood. "So, Kiana, I know it's tough, but we'll get through this together. And don't worry, the shack may be a bit old and dusty, but we'll make it as cozy as possible for you."

Kiana managed a small smile, appreciating Stan's efforts to comfort her. "Thanks, Stan. I know it won't be easy, but I'm glad I have you and everyone else here."

Dipper, always curious, couldn't help but ask, "Kiana, your eye—does it have something to do with that triangle thing you were talking about earlier?"

Kiana nodded, briefly explaining, "Yeah, it's complicated. I think there's a connection, but I'm not sure. It's just... seeing that name, 'Bill Cipher,' it brought back some really strange memories and a lot of pain."

Mabel, empathetic as ever, reached over to squeeze Kiana's hand from the backseat. "We're here for you, Kiana, no matter what."

The car eventually pulled up to Kiana's house. It was a bittersweet moment, returning to the place where she had lived with her parents. She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's do this."

Together, they entered the house, where memories of her parents surrounded her. Kiana began to pack up her belongings, carefully selecting items that held sentimental value. Each object, each photo, carried a piece of her family's history.

Dipper and Mabel helped, going through old boxes and offering a few laughs along the way. Stan observed from a distance, realizing the importance of this moment for Kiana.

As the day turned into evening, they finally finished packing. Kiana stood in her now-empty room, tears welling up. She whispered a heartfelt goodbye to her home, grateful for the memories but also ready to start a new chapter with her newfound family in Gravity Falls.

Back in the StanMobile, as they headed back to the Mystery Shack, Kiana felt a mix of emotions—grief, hope, and a deep sense of belonging. She looked at her new family and knew that, despite the challenges ahead, she was not alone.

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over Gravity Falls, but within the car, the warmth of friendship and support shone brighter than ever before.
