And the world keeps turning

《Can you  talk me about your relationship with Bill?》
It was a beautiful night when Mabel asked that. She was smart and curious, he expected that some day she would ask him that.

Tad knew that humans were strange creatures, but they were a bit like the Flatlanders at the same time.
They were always searching for affection, especially a little girl like her, maybe it was because of it that Tad loved her like a daughter.
So, in his square form, he floated above her head as she crawled on her bad, waiting for the demon to tell the story about him and his brother. He never saw her excited like that.
《 Are you sure?》
Asked the demon. 《It's not a pleasant story. It's pretty sad actually.》
The little girl puffed her cheeks and gave him a disappointed glare.
《But I wanna know! Please tell me your story, Tad!》
The lawyer sighed, that child was one of his weakness, but he loved her so much. She was so innocent, so naive, but so brave and creative at the same time.
《Ok ok I'll tell you. But you need to cover yourself with the sheets. It's cold tonight, you will freeze.》
The girl did as she was told, her curiousity rised by every minute while Tad tried to find the right words, words that weren't too strong for a 12-years-old.
《Here!》
Chirped happily the girl as she watched the demon floating near to her.Tad cleared his troath, closed his eye a bit and then he was ready to tell the sad story of his life.
《Before Bill destroyed our dimension we were pretty close, very close. Like you and your brother Dipper.》
The girl smiled and then asked:
《Like brothers?》
Tad froze for a moment, a moment that seemed to last a century to him.
Brothers, yes, they really were brothers, they loved each other like brothers because the were.
Bill, no, William, was blood of his blood, flesh of his flesh, but the little girl couldn't know, no, he needed to protect her from the awful truth, a truth that Tad didn't dare to confess neither to his worst enemy.
《Yes. Like brothers.》
The demon smiled to her and went on with the story.
《Even if he's a bit older I was the responsabile one, the one who tried to not end up in bad situations. But he had an...  ability, for that ,you know...》
Tad tried not to look sad, but his melancholic tone betryed his intentions.
Mabel was smart enough to notice and to not ask, it was clear that he missed the good times,  everyone does that.
《What happened when Bill destroyed your dimension?》
The lawyer knew that she would ask him that, kids were always  curious about dark subjects, Mabel wasn't an ecception.
Tad tried to find the right words, words that in his mind were horrible images of death and destruction.
《You need to know that some, not so many,  Flatlanders discovered a power, a very dangerous power. I showed that power to Bill and it corrupted him. He hated the rules of our dimension, he wanted to free the souls of the poor people, but wanted to punish everyone at the same time. So he killed everybody, his friends, his family and all the people who tried to stop him, I tried too, but even if we had similar powers he was a bit stronger than me. William always was a bit stronger than me. 》
There was a bit of envy and anger in the last line, but all his speech was bitter and showed that neither Tad was perfect, that even him had flaws and emotions.
Mabel put on a very sad and simpathetic smile and asked again:
《You and Bill are not the only Flatlanders alive, right? How is that possible if Bill killed everybody?》
Oh yes. She was a very smart kid.
《See, those Flatlanders with even just a bit of power were able to survive because Bill killed their phisycal form, but their souls still alive.》
Mabel bat her eyes for a few seconds. That made sense, but she had another doubt.
《And how they react about that? About the fact that their dimension doesn't exist anymore?》
If Tad had a face, in that moment his expression would be one of the saddest Mabel never saw.
《They are sad and happy at the same time. They hated that place even if they try to repeat to themself they were happy, but they lie. Yes, that place was horrible, but they don't have a home anymore, they miss their family and friends.》
Tad looked at his Shooting Star  a moment, a short  moment and he saw something he would like to forget.
She had understood, Mabel understood everything, that little girl knew Tad Strange's little secret.
She made herself comfortable and ready to sleep, because she knew that their conversation would end soon.
《Are you dead, Tad?》
The demon just bat his eye, no aswer came from him for a brief moment.
《Go to sleep, kid.》
He said to her, before turning his back and floating to the near window, he needed some flesh air.
《Do you hate your brother?》
Oh, she knew better, she understood everything, every single thing he didn't tell her, damn that little girl, Tad loved her too much.
The demon esited for a moment, but his aswer was somewhat of relaxing, like if someone had took a weight from his chest.
《Yes, a bit.》
He said and then he went away.
Damn, he needed some fresh air.
