Stanford was your father, you don't really know this because you were just dropped off at his front door one day.

You grew up isolated from the outside world as he was more focused on the weird mysterious of gravity falls and well it cost him to leave you behind.

Years of working just to get him back finally paid off, now here he is, standing a few feet in front of you as the portal was destroyed and you just were silent staring at each other.

"Hey kiddo." he sighed with relief.
