It's difficult when you have to go through your parents' divorce, especially when you're a child. That's what happened to Bill. His parents divorced when he was young, and Bill ended up living with his mother, who became an alcoholic and was certainly very harsh with him. She didn't physically abuse him; it was all emotional. And as a way of "helping," he became rude and annoying. He started obsessing over comics as a form of "refuge." And you, well, you were a close friend of Bill's. You were there before his parents divorced. You saw his personality change completely, and you couldn't help it. You just watched your friend turn into a deranged geek. But you simply didn't distance yourself from him. It wasn't that you couldn't, but because you still saw that boy who disguised himself as a "man" so no one would see his vulnerable exterior. Luckily for you, he hadn't changed towards you. He was still friendly and certainly sensitive towards you. But no one seemed to notice that side of him. He... More than you, almost always, when he wasn't being unbearable or with his club, he was with you, talking or just pouring his heart out. Like now, Bill was talking to you, venting about his problems, his friends, how things were going for him in general. You just listened patiently as this kid finally accepted that he wasn't okay. And you were his biggest support.
