Olivia leaning on her chair: Since he’ll be here for awhile, I think you should ask your new spirit friend some questions.

Billy leaning on the kicthen counter: Son, do you have anything you want to ask?

Billy’s Son: No.

Billy: Huh? Why not?

Billy’s Son: I just came from the forrest, I don’t wanna talk.

Billy: (sigh) …Why are you haunting the Billy Hotel, Mr. Alex?

Alex: I didn’t come here for the hotel :3

Billy: Huh? Well, why are you here then?

Alex: I was spe-

Olivia: Okay, minor mistake already. TECHNICALLY he didn’t haunt the Billy Hotel, he was haunting the forrest, THEN he haunted your hotel after your son invited him over.

Billy: Ah… My bad…

Alex: -nding time with Leyman. I thought he was a good kid, so I didn’t want him to be lonely.

Billy: Wait, who is Leyman?

Alex: Your son?

Billy: …That’s not my son’s name…

Alex: What is his name then?

Billy: …

Alex: Leyman, what’s your name?

Billy’s Son: …

Billy’s Son: I don’t want to talk!

Billy: …

Olivia: …Dude, what’s the name of your son?

Billy: Le.

Olivia: Uhhhhhh… That’s just his surname.

Billy’s Son: Call me whatever you want.

Billy: You can call him whatever you want, I don’t put much thought into nicknames honestly.

Billy’s Son mumbling: I’m just his son…

Short Answer: I think it’d still be Billy’s Daughter, lol.

Long Answer: That might seem strange because in my interpretation — if you’re even willing to keep with such a long story, lol — I usually portray the name “Billy’s Son” as something restrictive. To be known not by name, but instead by your role. To not be known by any original character, but instead by your father’s presence. Billy’s Son… What would your real name be? Maybe Lenny? Or maybe Leyman? We’ll never know, your parents didn’t bother giving you one.

How about Billy’s Daughter? But that’s still a title, that’s not liberating at all! But it is. If this were the non-trans narrative then yeah, the resolution to Billy’s Son’s arc would be him getting a real name. But since this is a trans-narrative, Billy’s Daughter would be the real name of Billy’s Son. I also think this timeline would have a much more sweeter ending than the timeline where Billy’s Son gets a real name.

If Billy’s Son gets rid of his title, he’s essentially implying that he is no longer “Billy’s Son” but instead “○○○○○○.” This ending is disownment. But if Billy’s Son gets rid of her title in exchange for “Billy’s Daughter,” she’s not cutting her father off, but she does want her relationship with him to be different. This ending is renewal.

I always liked to think that the reason why her sweater is green and blue is because it’s a fusion of her parent’s colours (Green = Billy’s Girlfriend/Blue = Billy).

Anyway, here’s a trans interpretation, shhhhhhh… 🤫 don’t tell on me. Just a secret between us. If you’re wondering why she has a bolo tie, it’s because I like to think that every Le child gets a different tie.

Billy’s Son: Okay, dad, I want you to meet my new friend, this is Mr. Alex-

Billy: Where did you get that spirit.

Billy’s Son: Okay, listen to me. This is Mr. Alex-

Billy: No…

Billy’s Son:

Alex:

Billy: …

Billy’s Son: I visited the forrest, it was at the west, or maybe it was east, which one goes left?? Uhhhhhh… It was to the left of the camp site we usually go to. Anyway there was this patch of pink tulips and that’s where I found him.

Billy: We need to call an excorcist.

Billy’s Son: No you can’t, because he’s my friend now actually.

Billy: Son, he’s dripping blood everywhere all over the carpet, and he’s hanging from the ceiling.

Alex: へ(:3 」∠)_

Billy: No, I won’t shake your hand.

Billy’s Son: Dad, he’s not even talking. I don’t think he can talk.

Alex: o(･x･)/

Billy: I’m calling an excorcist, I sense he has malicious intent.

Billy’s Son: See, this is the judginess that made mom leave us.
