Summary
Ever wondered why Stan Pines is scared of heights? Well, there's certainly a backstory for it. But it's not as silly or wholesome as you would assume.
---
Stan is nervous to see Ford after ten years, but he knows he has to see his brother one last time before he says goodbye forever. All he wants is to ask for forgiveness and to know that is isn't hated by the only person who ever loved him. But when he gets to Gravity Falls, he is hit with disappointment. Ford made him come all this way just to tell him to get out of his life?
---
Ford is not particularly looking forward to seeing his brother - the man who ruined his only chance of escaping the poverty cycle, but he's desperate. Tormented by Bill Cipher, he has barely slept in weeks and feels himself losing touch with reality, becoming more and more irritable and short-tempered.
All he needs is for Stan to take the journal and leave, but the idiot refuses. As days pass & tensions rise, Ford learns a terrible lesson. Sometimes you forget to appreciate the people who love you the most - and worse - by the time you realise, it's too late.
The only question left is whether Ford will learn his lesson in time.
