Summary
He raises his flashlight to illuminate the path back home, trails it over the trees. The flashlight moves quickly, giving his eyes half a moment to see what is there. What is there, carved into the wood.
His mind stops, his mind screams, his mind short-circuits. His mind tells him not to look again. But... but his curiosity. His curiosity has always been one of his greatest weaknesses, so he looks again. It's small, but it's there—a triangle carved into the tree, a triangle with a single eye.
It's Bill.
Bill Cipher.
---
Following the death of his older brother, Stanford Pines—PhD (twelve times over), world-renowned scientist, certified genius, and a man who cannot figure out social cues—returns to his hometown of Gravity Falls to take care of his now-orphaned niece and nephew.
Dealing with two kids going through grief is bad enough. Dealing with the complicated relationship between himself and his twin brother is bad enough—
But there's a darker shadow, one that has been following him for years, one that he feels getting closer and closer.
Bill.
