the concept of time and stancest....
how they spent most of their lives separated than together. how stan spend thirty years disproving the 'definition of insanity' just for a opportunity to just SEE his brother again. not knowing if ford was even alive but never stopping. the uphill fight ford has after the series is over. the time lost between them a gaping hole neither of them know how to fill. them being fundamentally different ppl bc of all their experiences since they last truly knew each other. stan losing time and memories but maybe not even realizing. ford having the burden of bringing stan out of those moments. learning how fundamentally different their time apart has been. discovering how their perspectives of their childhood are mismatched and warped. time becoming this physical thing looming over them bc they both know neither of them can live forever. each second feels weighted and wasted if not spent with each other or somehow providing for their family. not having enough time to fix everything. never having enough time to make up for all those lost years
