[There's no getting around it. It's an essay. About the dangers of sugar abuse on your health, linked to several medical articles. In it, she links the abuse of sugar to depression, diabetes, dopamine imbalances, fueling cancer cells and making tumors more aggressive, impotence, increased risk of heart attacks and heart disease, increased inflammation leading to joint pain and arthritis, increased risk of strokes, kidney failure, and rotting teeth.

Included in her essay is a list of signs of sugar abuse, including false teeth, rotten teeth, pupil dilation, jitteriness, mid-afternoon 'crashes', and other symptoms.

She wraps up with a plea for people to seek help and rehabilitation for their addictions and avoid anyone who might try to push such addictive substances on them.]

[The cranky expression fades to what's really underneath, and that's a scared kid who thought Legion World was kind of sort of safe, finding out it's a lot less safe than he thought.]

[Even with people like Reaper, he knew he was completely under their radar. Even if they ever did turn on the team, it's not like they'd have targeted him specifically.]

[So the idea of someone running around that's fine picking fights with Kubo of all people...]

Can you show me how to do traps in my room, too? For, like, when I'm sleeping? I know how to make monster traps but to make most of the ones I know, you need to use trees or dig a hole in the ground or use foliage for camoflage.

[His Reaper traps had been mostly for humiliation; his Rico traps, on the other hand, have a lot more stopping power, to the point where he's notified the staff that no one is to go into his room under any circumstances unless he's there to let them in. The traps aren't going to kill anyone, but the staff still doesn't deserve to be on the wrong end of them and he's not taking any chances.]

Yeah. I have a few that can stop a man in his tracks.

There's one condition: you have to let the staff know about them. Nobody goes in your room unless you're there to disable the traps for them.

[He nods.]

You'll already know how to get in, so I'll warn the staff and just show Pidge how to do it herself.

...because they'll be guarding my suite. In general. Not that she'd be going into my room.

For any reasons.

[This is where they are now. This is the conversation they're having. Okay, then.]

Dipper, I'm not going to judge what you get up to. Just...let me know if you have any questions, or if you need the talk.

[He's pretty sure that Dipper's never been past first base, if he's ever gotten up to bat at all. He's also pretty sure that telling him no will just encourage him further. Might as well take the middle ground and be prepared.]

[He still waves his hands frantically.]

I really, really meant the traps would just be guarding my suite in general, though. I really did.

[He turns bright red.]

So I'm good. I don't need any talks about...things. No things are happening.

Plus, the teen websites I read were really informative.

[Another pause, and he goes even redder, as he realizes that means he just admitted space googling the subject.]

And I only looked at them because I'm a naturally curious person! Technically it's biological science!

[Yep, he's still a kid.]

Dipper. I just said I'm not judging you. It's fine.

[Hilarious - not that Wash is going to show that - but fine.]
