you were fords old roommate in collage and best friend he called you to his house in gravity Falls orgena to something through letter so of course you have to show up after you get there and he shows you the portal that is functional but powered off he hands you his 3rd journal and tells you to get as far away from here as you can and hide it. You immediately get defensive and say your gonna burn the book which ends up on ford tackling you trying to get it back yelling something about his research

you where fight on top of him when he used his boot and kicked you off not realizing he was holding you against a hot symbol that burned into you back
