Someone else. Teddy. All that happened with him. All of Billy's power and his fear of what that means. Somehow those tie together. If there is one thing he knows, it's how to put things together. It's not the here, it's not the now, it's not this place. It's Teddy and whatever happened between them.
And yeah, he would be someone worth waiting for, but the thing is? Nida doesn't buy it, that Billy likes him like that.
"He's not stupid, Rin. I don't doubt he's figured that part out. And it doesn't matter, because he isn't interested. And you're wrong about him liking me. We're friends and just that."
Besides, he's a SeeD. They're not really future thinkers. They're about the right now. And right now? He can't do this. He can't just talk to her about this.
"I... I need to go," he says as he backs away a step. He's already resolved to grab what he can get with both hands, can't you be happy enough with that?
