"So that's why you were on top of him." Gideon nodded respectfully.

"Exactly." Pacifica sighed. "He was being a-"

"Don't say it." Gideon frowned. "We don't say bad words."

"Fine." She poured. "But on to the most important part, I saved his life."

"Alright." Dipper got up slowly and walked over to the window.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know." Dipper murmured, "but something doesn't feel right."

"Maybe it's because you have reached an epiphany?"

"Maybe." He added.
