But often the things he thinks are not the things he says out loud, which is also the case right now. Not that it makes his actual answer any less honest, mind you - but it's just that he knows you have to keep up things like polite conversation, and some thoughts just aren't suited for that. Even though it seems like that is not a lesson anyone has ever taught Tom.
"Of course I'm not," he easily replies, not even having to think about that one.
He's a nobody in his world. There's only one person there who cares about him. He died. Main character, it's a laughable idea.
"Anyone who assumes they are the main character even in their own story has a case of a severely inflated sense of ego." One might notice he is not asking Tom the same in return.
It's because Billy already figures the other would think he is, if he's even asking that question at all.
