  Summary

  Can the sadistic god, Bill Cipher learn basic empathy and sympathy? That’s what the Axolotl wishes to test- much to Bills protest.
  TLDR: Bill is sent as a guardian angel of sorts to aid with the trauma recovery of Stanford Pines with all his powers to see if he can learn 3 basic skills to be recanted, empathy, sympathy, and self control.
