He and Eddie actually do have a pretty common taste in music - it was Eddie who showed him how to replicate tapes which was good. As close as he felt to Max listening to Kate Bush, he was tired of that one song. And as she states that she's his fourth victim.
And the world seems to come to a halt.
Except Billy doesn't. He starts pacing again. Why would he go after Max? Was it not enough to kill her stepbrother in front of her? Fingers clench around his tape player as he paces. The plastic creaks under his grip. "Fourth. Fourth victim," is all he can repeat.
Pace, pace, pace.
And Buckley and Harrington and Munson didn't tell him. Didn't even hint that his stepsister was in danger back home. Did they come from a point where they didn't know? The anger flares in him, barely contained mentally even as the pacing speed picks up. "The fuck do you mean fourth victim?!" Again there's that raising tone, starting towards yelling. Because Billy isn't great with this and now something back home was trying to kill his little sister!
