[Oh. That's super interesting. Dipper eyes all the ...stan!structures and stan!manifestations as he comes back up. So Stan really couldn't see him down there. That's wild.]
[No wonder he was so nervous down there, yeesh.]
Please, you really should consider putting in some lower level lighting. It was so dark down there I probably got lost in your uh, morality void or something.
[Here, he'll make a terrible joke back. Let's not... talk about what was down there. Time to move on! To another door! Memories is an old favorite, lets go in that one.]
[Stan doesn't answer directly, but he does go ahead and make every possible light turn on Dipper, including a big spotlight that seems to be coming from absolutely nowhere. Every step Dipper takes is punctuated by a new bright light on him, at least until he gets to the hall of memories where Stan finally cuts it out.
Just like the first time around, there are a lot of rooms. Closer to the front are more recent short term memory halls, from Deerington and Deer Country. There are designated halls for Dipper and Mabel respectively, Ford, and even Soos.
Unlike in his unconscious mind, where pieces destroyed by the memory gun are no longer burning, some doors are still engulfed in blue flames. They're more contained than they were though, with no danger of spreading to anything else. They're just...forever on fire. The Deerington and Deer Country ones are mostly unscathed, and even the bulk of his recent Gravity Falls memories are fine, but the further back Dipper goes, the more fires there will be. It isn't the majority anymore, not by a long shot, but it's still probably concerning.
Stan knows this though, so a door opens up within a foot of Dipper. Inside, Stan is leaning against a mini-golf club at the Ye Royal Discount Putt Hutt back in Gravity Falls.]
Ah, don't worry about it, kid!
[Then that door slams shut, and another opens, of the kids shining a flashlight on Stan in a dark room full of cursed wax weirdos.]
It's just me! Your Grunkle Stan!
[Sure, having some memories still up in flames doesn't look great, but this is what he's got to work with now and the last thing he wants is Dipper worrying about it more than he has to.
That door slams shut too, leaving Dipper seemingly alone. So then - where to?]
