The years passed and it became more and more unlikely that anything could be done.
Dipper tried anything he remembered from the Journals or Ford but to no avail, it couldn't be changed.
Even with the copies Stan made from the Journals there was nothing in there that was helpful in any way.
So their hope dwindled with the passing years, becoming more and more unlikely as time passed
There are so many things Stan would have liked to say, so many things he wanted to make up for but now it was just a reminder of all the mistakes he ever made.
It broke his heart every day to see. Every morning he got the hope that it happened, and every morning his hopes were shattered again.
He couldn't endure it any longer.
He knew he had to say goodbye but that was something he could never seperate from.
By far the thing that meant most to him, it always did and always will. It was his most valuable treasure
Stanford Pines did never turn back from the golden idol Bill had transformed him into. With not even the end of Weirdmageddon changing that, nothing probably would.
It was time to say goodbye.
Bury your gold.
