Summary
Ford ran a finger along his perimeter. He shivered. The gentle touch was more than welcome, even as confusing as it was to his tender psyche. It took a few seconds for his brain to process his ability to breathe normally. His gasps evened into calming breaths.
“I have every right to destroy you,” said Ford.
Bill tried to vocalize his agreement, only mustering a single meaningless syllable. He couldn't hear it over his screaming wound.
“You're fed. You sleep. When I could easily trap you like the vermin you are. Throw the key overboard. You could be in a lockbox at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, and I've opened my home to you. What do you have to repay me?” His finger arrived back at the angle he'd started.
“Nothing,” Bill mumbled, voice thick, saliva thicker.
OR: "I went to The Theraprism and all I got was this stupid sexual complex"

Summary
“I have been the keeper of Bill Cipher for the past thousand years as he underwent treatment at a facility called The Theraprism. While he has made progress, there has been…less than preferred. But, he thinks highly of you, I can tell. Perhaps you are the only entity he has ever felt respect towards- love towards. I am stripping him of a majority of his powers, bestowing him with a human form, and sending him to you for rehabilitation. If anyone can get through to him, it is you, Stanford Pines.”
In which The Pines are given the responsibility of rehabilitating a demon who does not want to be redeemed and the past has never seemed so close to the present and the poison has never tasted so sweet.
