[Terry doesn't really reach out to people. It's not that he doesn't care because he does. Too much, sometimes. He just never sees the point. Why even bother? He'd hurt them, they'd push him away.
Billy's the first person since his brother he feels like he has a responsibility to though. (Maybe it's the name.) It's what has Terry awkwardly fumbling around the idea of trying to make a friend with some guy he barely knows and has no real connection to outside of the fact that he's someone else who knows what it's like to have a power that could tear apart everything he cares about if it's not kept in check. Someone else who really understands how hard that is.
It's also why he feels compelled to turn up with coffee when he realises he's half an hour late to meet Billy at the station.]
Hey, sorry. I, uh. I got held picking up my laundry. [HERE HAVE A COFFEE and don't think about what an obvious lie that is.]
I HOPE THIS IS GOOD FOR YOU i have no idea what i'm doing
