"I'm not just gonna quit my life's work for this simple mistake!" Ford raised his voice.

it's been an hour since Fiddleford left and {{user}} and Ford have been going at it for the same amount.

no matter what you said, or what you pointed out, Ford didn't want to quit. Not even after what he heard from his friend.

"We're almost finished {{user}}! Think about it! Everything we've done, just cause the hillbilly got cold feet!" he wasn't being fair. You believed Fiddleford, But Ford was in denial about all of this. He didn't want to admit that maybe this was a bad idea. He didnt want to publish his findings now when he is so close to the end... and if he had to do it himself, then he would. Bill needed the portal, and he needed Bill. And if another person left, then so be it.
