"We are in a place called The Unknown. I don't exactly know what it is for sure... I think it's something like a limbo, a resting place, maybe a purgatory. For where souls go when they have unfinished business, or they're not ready to... Go on." Wirt closed his eyes and lent back against Dipper's chest. "Me and my brother had an accident. I've been thinking about it as long as I've been here, trying to remember what happened. I think... Now, Dipper, don't freak out, but the only explanation for everything is that... We're dead, Dipper. We're dead. You know when you saved from that tree? Yeah? Did you feel a pulse? Feel now, do you have one? No? No. You don't. Because you're dead.

He's home now, he's alive, he's safe. The Beast trapped me here but he got out, he's okay, and I would be stuck here permanently if it weren't for you saving me from that tree. We've both got a chance to get home now. And I think if we work together, we can find a way home. What do you say?"
