[So, it really had been the both of them, then. Both of them had managed to sabotage the entire ordeal from the start without either of them realizing it. Now they could both look back on the mess and see where they went wrong. No ...Dipper isn't mad, either. Not at Falco.

He's still mad at himself, but more than anything he's frustrated by how helpless they both had been. There had to have been something they could have done to prevent all this. He can't accept that they both were doomed all along.

It all goes back to corruption, for Dipper, at least. If he'd caught onto that sooner, maybe-]

Not- Not very much.

[And that's the truth. His last memory is telling Mabel to run, and the unimaginable pain of regaining consciousness with the level of burns he had, only to lose himself to the Beasthood transformation. Everything after that is flashes. Dipper bites his lip and reaches forward. The Empathy is getting to him, too, and the tightness in his chest is almost too much.]

And...you're right. It won't change things now. So- [He realizes maybe he should try a different angle. Because if Falco is anything like how Dipper feels right now "It's Okay" isn't near enough to put him at ease.]

[If Falco will let him, he'll draw him into a hug, because he sees him crying over there, and Dipper is, much like his family, very tactile.]

I forgive you. We've both learned terrible lessons today, so let's move forward.
