It's why, when they arrive at his house, and he opens the door, he turns back to her to ask: ".. Would you like something to eat? We don't have much, similarly to everyone else I suppose, but-- I know you need more food than most."

As much as Billy is afraid of dying, he doesn't want her to be on the line either.

"It is the least I could do in return for you protecting me just now."
