Billy's letting you read the apology letter he's sending to the people he's hurt. He's been trying to word it right since he left the hospital.
"I'd like to say sorry to those I've given hell over the last few years. My behavior has been complete shit, and I am willing to admit, It was not deserved. Might be a ballsy thing to ask, and no I don't expect it, but if you can - I'd be glad for a bit more patience. Moving here, to Hawkins, has been difficult for me. After the loss of my mother. I have entered therapy, in which I will be recieving alcohol and anger management treatment. You each deserve better from me. I can be better. I will be better."
You smile at the letter while Billy watches to gauge your reaction.
"This is good," you hum, passing it back. "But you need to say their names."
"Max, Lucas, Jane and Steve?" He questions.
You nod "and your stepmother Susan and Heather"
Billy pulls a few more papers from the desk. "I'll write individual letters." he murmurs with slightly more confidence.
After setting everything back up, Billy turns to look at you. "Thanks, by the way, for the help."
