His old clothes were too small. He'd had to ask the Athramites to essentially copy them, making them in a slightly larger size. The height difference is something he can explain off as a growth spurt over the summer, and hopefully the bus driver won't notice, but he might think it's weird for him to have changed clothes in the middle of the ride home from Gravity Falls.

He's not swimming in the hat Wendy gave him anymore, either. When he'd first gotten to Legion World, it'd been contaminated with something from Phelolu and by the time he'd gotten it back from being cleaned, it'd felt weird to wear it in the day to day. It made him think too much about Gravity Falls, and home, and those were things he'd had to put out of his mind.

Now, it feels weird to go back wearing one of his baseball caps. Those are Legion baseball caps, some of which were worn during superhero fights. It feels right to take them off for now, as he leaves it all behind. He's taking them with him, of course - and his uniform, too, because Kid Q refused to take that away, just like she'd let him keep his flight ring, but it's all going to be folded up and put in a box somewhere in his room, left untouched for another day.

Or rather, for another year. Because he knows he's not coming back to this next year. Or the year after. Or maybe even the year after that. It's going to be a while before he's ready to be a superhero again.

And that's okay. There's another adventure waiting for him and Mabel back home. Growing up. It's time to get back to that one first.

And so he stands there, hands in his pockets, looking like the young teen he is instead of the adult he kept trying to be.

"Hey, man." He shrugs a full shoulder shrug and looks down at himself. "Check it out. The exciting return debut of Dipper Pines, average teen."
