[Mabel gapes like a fish.]

You don't feel guilty about anything? But you're like... [she flails her hands] ...Anxiety in human form!

[singloversing]

[He makes such a face at that description of himself, even though he can't fairly say that it's wrong.]

I-I mean, it's not like there's nothing I feel guilty about at all, but...I don't know? It's not like I opted out of the event on purpose! I wasn't even sure whether it had started or not...

[Things definitely come to mind for him to be guilty about, but...they aren't things that are constantly on his mind anymore. Not the way they were a few months ago.]

[krmvgivv]

No, Mabel, this is good!

[Dipper grabs her shoulders, pinning her flailing arms and grinning excitedly. He turns towards Wirt.]

You’re growing as a person!

[powerofmabel]

[And then Mabel tackles Wirt in a hug.] Ahh! You are! I'm so proud of you.

[Cheeksmush!]

[singloversing]

[He didn't see the hug coming - from his side of things, this is all a little strange. It's not like he did anything special, but...well, they're really making it sound like he did.]

Uh. Thanks?

[He's not sure what to say to that (and it's a little hard to talk with his cheeks being smushed), but he's kind of flattered.]

[krmvgivv]

[Dipper grins and kneels next to the hug pile.]

Anyway, how do you feel about a slumber party?

[powerofmabel]

Yeah, I can't actually look my stuffed animals in the eye right now. Long story.

[Mercifully, she releases Wirt's face.]

[singloversing]

[Does he want to know?? He's not sure he wants to know.]

Uh. Yeah, okay! Sure. You guys are probably going to just take over anyway, so I might as well not fight it.
