[Ford immediately shakes his head, hand and dream hand still clenched in his hair. What a cruel fucking joke that is; the tone Bill used to take with him when Ford was blinded by hubris and the need to trust in a supposedly benevolent higher power.

See, he knows. He understands.

He wants to obliterate my universe and make me and everyone I love suffer.

He can't do that here. Do you really always have to have control? Don't you remember what it was like, letting go to meditate? You're injured. You could die. Your brother set you free and you turned your back on him.

Making another deal with Bill won't change any of that.]

WHY do you want this? Here, of all places?!

[--Won't it? You can let your mind rest. You know he won't let you die.

--And that was the strangest realization, though not that outlandish. No one would throw away a potentially useful tool, although what kind of potential use Bill could still get out of him, Ford doesn't know.

He's bound to Wonderland just like everyone else, and to the rules of the deal. He can't hurt anyone if you don't want him to.

But--]

I'm not of ANY use to you here!

[--He owes you.

...

Genosha.

Ford's hands slide out of his hair and drop by his sides.]
