[Ford knows about the ring, but he doesn't entirely trust that Bill can't manipulate it. He wouldn't stake his life on it, and he won't trust it without question in this case.
...really, it's Bill himself that gives him the most pause. If he had told this to Ford jovially, with a wink and a flourish and some comment about good behavior and graduation, Ford wouldn't trust it a 2D dimension's width. He has been playing against Bill long enough to know what Bill's like when he's making a move.
This feels off. Wrong. Diminished.
I didn't want it to be anyone but you.]
...what are you saying? Do you mean -- you don't want revenge on me anymore?
[If--if--this is true, then Bill must be moving on to other plans. He's still dangerous. He's still up to something. This doesn't mean Ford or anyone else on this barge is safe.
It just means Bill is ending the game with Ford. He doesn't want to play what he saw as their interdimensional chess match. Something about their last conversation must have spoiled the game.
Oh no. Bill isn't having fun anymore. Cry him a river.]
