  Summary

  Years after that summer, the Axolotl came to the Pines family with a request: take Bill Cipher in. With the insistence of a God far more powerful than any of them were willing to deny, and the knowledge that if they were to deny him, Bill might be sent to someone less equipped to handle him, how could they have refused?

  Something had apparently gone 'wrong' in the Theraprism regarding Bill's recovery and he needed time away from it for them to observe him from afar and decide how to go forward. According to them, the Pines family were the only ones fit for the job of taking care of Bill until they've decided.

  As for Bill himself, he didn't seem quite like how they remembered him. He's quieter, easier to handle. He's not himself. That's good, wasn't it? It was.

  But it'll be fine. They'll get through it together, they always have.
