It's an apt description. Even if the anger doesn't come to Billy as easily - but he's felt it too this month - he knows that he's been feeling just as emotional. A constant anxiety playing up within him. It's not a great position to be in when you know that any of your emotions can quite literally spark a fire. It does make him a little worried about being around Chloe, but-- It's fine, right? She makes him feel safe, even in the middle of this mess. He can control himself. He wouldn't hurt her.
"A gun?" He asks. The idea of it being Kate - that seemingly innocent girl that people tend to get so worked up about, someone Billy avoids if not just for the overly religious tones that give him the creeps - feels strange. It emphasizes there's something deeply wrong with this place.
But what he's more worried about in the face of that is-- "Did she hurt you?"
Chloe doesn't seem like someone who got shot. She's still walking around, after all. But Billy would definitely put Chloe high up on a list of people who are enough of an idiot to keep walking even after getting shot.
Which means there's concern.
"Are you alright?" Physically, anyway. Emotionally none of them are right now.
