You didn't know what was going to happen, though. Otherwise you wouldn't have gone, obviously. You thought you'd see them again.

[Right on cue, Quill looks down at him and says, coldly, "For the record? I know you're only going with them because it's the one place Thanos isn't."

Like a knife in his heart, that is.] Yeah, there's also that.

[krmvgivv]

What, is he right?

[Cause just cause someone else says it doesn't mean Dipper's going to believe it.]

[beatupgrass]

I don't know! I wasn't really thinking about it like that. I was thinkin' logically since Thor and Quill were in the middle of a pissing contest, but Quill knows me. He wouldn't have said it if he didn't think it was a little bit true, no matter how pissed he was. [He scrubs at his face.] Wouldn't be the first time I bailed out of a situation that was too hairy even for me.

[krmvgivv]

Just cause he thought it was true doesn't mean it was. My sister thinks dinosaurs are part of the Hanukkah story.

[A beat. Rocket definitely does not know Hanukkah.]

Which... they're not.

The point is, even if that was part of your motivation? It obviously wasn't all of it.

[beatupgrass]

[Yeah, Rocket has no idea what that means or why it's relevant, but the point... has been made.]

No... No, it wasn't. [And that means he has to let go of it, doesn't he? He sighs and the scene begins to break up, rather than loop.] Wait. Shit. I think that's working.

[krmvgivv]

Oh good. [Dipper relaxes.] This is a really terrible kind of hell. It's so much more creepy and personal than fire and physical torture.
