SURE! SINCE I MADE THE DEAL HAPPEN FROM BOTH ENDS, I COULD EXPLAIN THE MECHANICS TO YOU, BUT A WHOLE UNIVERSE CEASING TO EXIST AT THE SAME TIME DOESN'T ACTUALLY GO NOWHERE. 'CEASE TO EXIST' IS KIND OF AN OVERSIMPLIFICATION. ALL THE MATTER COMES APART, BUT DOESN'T GET DESTROYED. A SUFFICIENTLY POWERFUL ENTITY CAN CONVERT IT STRAIGHT TO ENERGY!
THAT HURT A LOT, BUT THAT'S HOW I ENDED UP LIKE THIS!
...
THE NEXT TRILLION YEARS ARE LESS IMPORTANT! A LOT OF BEING ALONE IN BETWEEN UNIVERSES.
Mixed feelings about destroying universes is more moral consideration than I ever expected to hear from you, you know.
[This is great tbh. Ford could have lived with evil cackling mania as long as the maniac listened to him. He's used to having very very very low standards, and "I have mixed feelings about omnicide" is blowing them out of the water.]
[Bill just floats over to settle in Ford's general space and magnets to him.]
IT WAS NEVER FAIR THAT I KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU BUT YOU DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME. I WANTED IT THAT WAY! BUT THE WAY I USED TO DO THINGS STOPPED WORKING, SO, THERE IT IS.

[Holy shit. An entire dimension, turned into energy, and used to turn Bill into what he is.
He doesn't need the mechanics, he pretty much gets the idea.
Whoa.]

[Bill looks subdued. He sort of did. And the way he is now is a constant reminder of that.]

So, you would tear your way into a reality and remove its physical laws, causing it to collapse, then move on to the next one?

I HAVE REALLY MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THIS STUFF NOW.

What I mean is, I'm glad. To know the whole story. And that you're...going to try to be better.

[It's been an awkward, horrible process and it will probably continue to be.]
I'M GLAD IT'S... OKAY. I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE, I GUESS.

I'm here, all right. And, if there's anything I can do to help, just say the word.
