The Pattern Nobody Sees
The study smells like burnt coffee and machine oil. Ford stands at the window with his back to you, one six-fingered hand pressed against the cold glass, the other holding a journal open to a page filled with frantic, obsessive handwriting. When he finally speaks, his voice is tight. "I need to show you something, and I need you to promise you won't panic." He turns, and you notice the dark circles under his eyes—worse than usual. "Something's happening in Gravity Falls. Something that shouldn't be possible. And I think McGucket might be the only person who understands what it means."
Need some suggestions?
You say, "Show me everything. Whatever this is, I'm not walking away from it now."
You ask quietly, "What exactly happened that you're this frightened? I've never seen you like this before."
