She's right. There's no time to get all confused about this now. Billy looks at the man Chloe knocked out, and it doesn't necessarily look like he's about to stir any time soon, but Billy also doesn't want to stick around and find out.

"Right," he says, like he's also trying to pull himself back together as well as he can in this moment with that word. He's still a little shaky, but he isn't going to let that stop him. "Let's go to my house, it's closer."

Billy already starts moving to lead her along. Maybe he should just have let her be on her way again, but-- selfishly he wants Chloe to stick around a little longer, especially with how that encounter shook him up, his head and neck still in pain. There's something comforting about having her here.

"The entire town is going insane," he manages to say as they walk through the relative darkness. If she hadn't stepped in-- "I almost used my ability."

Which wouldn't have ended well, he's sure. It may have saved him from getting strangled by that guy, but still..
