no worries about the lateness, and getting back to the other thread is also fine! <3

[ If Billy cares at all that Makoto is rambling to him here, he sure isn't showing signs of it. He listens the entire time the other is speaking, no matter how long it goes on for. It is a little hard to tell exactly what he's thinking, but it's just because Billy is so used to keeping on a polite neutral expression by default.. It's part of his job...

But it also means he doesn't look annoyed. He doesn't interrupt.

(Mostly because he agrees with everything the other is saying, really. If anything - Billy thinks - Makoto seems to understand all of this better than most.) ]

People never care about right or wrong. [ He says, once he's sure the other is finished for the moment.

It's pretty frank by Billy standards. It's not something he'd say unless he was sure Makoto understood - given that he knows how much others might judge him for saying this, but he doesn't think Makoto will. They both understand how the world works, one way or another. ] They only pretend to.

[ That's why their true natures end up being visible whenever things get bad the way Makoto describes.

There's a slight pause from Billy, and then he adds, perhaps in the face of that very last thing Makoto said-- ]

Will you be alright in this place?

[ Especially knowing what Billy knows now about the other... ]
