An Extra’s POV

"Oi…"

Billy thought he heard a sound behind him, but the sound of his heart shattering was loud enough to drown all external noise.

"Hey, big man!"

Billy jerked forward as a hand slapped his back and a friendly smile greeted him.

He found a stranger looking at him with a casual expression.

The stranger had a black eyepatch on one eye, with long black hair flowing down his shoulders.

He had strands of beards protruding from his chin, and he was outfitted in a high-quality black robe.

Billy had initially wanted to smack the man for hitting him so suddenly, but he chose not to after contemplating a little.

'I wouldn't want to accidentally kill him…' His thoughts trailed.

The man had a stupid grin on his face which made Billy angrier. He didn't realize when he was frowning at the total stranger.

"What do you want?" He asked in mild annoyance.

If this guy was here to comfort him, then Billy could already see himself clenching gist and getting ready for what would come next.

"Hey… hey man, relax! I saw everything that happened, and you know what…?"

Billy was ready to throw his punch the moment he heard anything unnecessary.

It was bad enough that Alicia had disgraced him in public, but now he was about to be pitied by an absolute stranger like this?

It was unacceptable.

"… I think that lady is just confused."

'H-huh?' Billy's brows shot up in surprise.

He had expected many words from the man, but nothing like what he just heard.

"Confused…?"

"Yes, my guy! Girls are like that when they're that age! My daughters were also the same way."

Billy found his brows raised even further. He was still confused, but more than that, he found himself resonating with the stranger.

"What she needs is something to prompt her certainty. If you're up for it, I have just the thing."

Billy felt his heart racing as he stared at the grinning eyepatch man.
