It's definitely kind of nice to be so open about stuff he's kept to himself for so long. It's enough for Billy to be smiling just the slightest bit as he talks.

"Cornelius is not as good at thinking of the consequences of his actions as he assumes himself to be." Trust him, Chloe. He's seen this play out so many times.. This is why he thinks Hickey is both the smartest and the dumbest person he knows. "I am more responsible in that regard, so it only feels natural for things to work out in this way."

God knows Hickey isn't going to be thinking about it if Billy doesn't.

"I just don't want him to get himself into trouble here. It would be a pain."
