[ There's a lot that can be told from the little things about a person. The way Makoto shifts so easily into we. The way he's immediately putting thought into all of this, asking questions. He seems reasonably intelligent, especially compared to the standard Billy is used to working with. And that 'we'-- easily adaptable? Desperate to belong? The source of the word is hard to tell, but it is definitely something he notes while listening to Makoto. ]

It has not run out yet.

[ But Billy's usage of words is also pretty calculated. That yet is there on purpose. It's been drilled into him after his previous experiences back home. ]

But of course we are always at risk of that here. It is hard to tell how reliable our source of wildlife is when nature often actively seems to work against us. [ He's sure Makoto must have heard it too, that strange voice before waking up. Interloper. Like they don't belong here, like the world is trying to get rid of them.

To be fair, most cold places feel that way to Billy by now. Even the ones without the Darkwalker. ]


.. if you want to learn how to trap rabbits, you should ask a man named Cornelius Hickey. [ Definitely not the best trapper in town.

But Billy doesn't think it hurts to put some more new people in touch with Hickey. Makoto seems like a reasonable person. Billy needs more reasonable people to like Hickey before shit hits the fan. ]
He often does that sort of thing here. I know because he shares his spoils with me.

[ Because they live together, but Billy would like to first examine a little how Makoto feels about the concept of homosexuality before he admits to that part.. ]
