[Gideon suddenly stiffens as he begins to nervously tug at his collar.]
S-S'nothin'! Water under the bridge...
[He turns back to Mabel, and puts forth his best attempt to sound sincere.]
Hafta concur with your lil' pig friend there, it ain't worth dwellin' on! I wanna forget too, rather just put it all behind me! 'Specially since I'm a Chosen now, I gotta be a hero, right? So consider this my turnin' over a new leaf!
[Of course, that doesn't mean he isn't going to find a way to restart his psychic act. He never inherently hurt anyone with that, a lot of things people enjoy are based on tricks. Like a magic show, it's all lies but that's the fun of it. What's a little invasion of privacy for something everyone in Gravity Falls loved? Besides, Dipper and Stan are on the other side of the planet. No point in focusing on revenge now, not when he's got a beloved and worshiped savior of the world to become.]
That way we can wipe things clean and... start over again, yaknow?
[He'll treat you right this time, no shrinking flashlights or giant robots or anything. That was all Dipper's fault anyway, the boy made him so mad he couldn't focus on anything else. But what he did was justified, honest! His methods were drastic but necessary, you don't know about the unimaginable power those journals contain! And none of that's even relevant anymore. Now it's only the two of them, fulfilling their duty as chosen ones, together. So please, please PLEASE believe him...]
