[Oh, Ford's feelings are doing a lot of uncomfortable half-seen gymnastics over here. He's confused and concerned and worried -- this is going somewhere he doesn't want it to go, but he hasn't figured out yet where that is.
There's a piece of this Ford's not getting. What is he missing? Bill...Bill was using him, but not for the portal, or for anything he knew he wanted. He's sorry about using Ford, which means this is serious. But what was he using Ford for? To keep the game going?
Even after all of this, was Bill still thinking of Ford as an opponent, like he did before? And in that case, getting Ford on his side..."turning it around"....
Oh no. Oh, no no no. Has it been like that this whole time? All that talk, all those things he said about Ford mattering, being irreplaceable, about liking him -- was all that part of a game, to draw Ford in?
It seems impossible, the logical part of Ford says, the part that believed Bill about this because everything had made sense. Some of the revelations Ford had believed had come out under truth magic. Multiple kinds of truth magic.
But truth magic only works if you know what you're saying is a lie, he remembers.]
Are you saying you did -- all of this -- so you could feel like you won?
