[No, Dipper hadn't thought so little of Wirt. Hoped, perhaps. He feels guilty enough without feeling guilty about Wirt's emotions too. He's writhing inside, angry at Wonderland for taking away their invincibility and mourning the loss of his fearlessness. He can't die again. Does that mean he's done with adventures? Can he survive a life of safety now that he knows what it feels like to be a hero?
Can he survive making Mabel that sad again? Or worse, losing her entirely?

He wants to stop having this conversation. But the words that he actually types and sends before he can second guess himself are stark and candid, the thing he's actually thinking, not the words he's been shielding himself with.]
