Has Dipper realized Yu knows he lied?
Either way, he makes no comment on that. Just sighs silently and nods only once. ]
Dipper... nothing about the way I feel is your fault. The only reason I kept all that hidden was because I knew you'd feel responsible. The way I feel about being a leader...
[ His expression shifts, touched with a certain rueful softness. ]
I've been holding myself to a standard I'd never hold anyone else. I see that, now. And it led me to shut out everyone I cared about. Even though I'd be the first person to say that ... you should rely on your friends, and trust them to hold you up the same way you hold them up. That's what it means to have a bond.
