We had seen something on Bill Cipher’s face (or lack thereof) that we had never seen before.
Fear.
Despite hating everything Bill had done prior, something about this scene tore me up inside.
Sure, Bill may be older than our universe, but in this scene…
He reminded me of a scared little kid.
It’s here when he realized that he wasn’t invincible, that death was a very real possibility. To see him so afraid like that, so willing to get down on his knees and beg, shook me to my core.
It really makes me wonder about the Bill Cipher before he got all of his powers.
