"IT FELT LIKE WHEN HE SAID SOMETHING IT'D BEEN TRUE ALL ALONG, BUT FROM WHERE YOU AND I ARE THAT COULD MEAN ANYTHING."
Memories are malleable. They both know this.
Bill looks straight ahead, like he's explaining something that'd keep him up at night - if he ever slept. If this conversation wasn't what was keeping them both up already.
"IF HE SAID WE WERE SOMETHING, OR WEREN'T SOMETHING, THAT'S JUST HOW WE'D ALWAYS REMEMBER IT BEING."
There are things Bill is glad no one asked about. Things that he can know are allowed to be just for him, not for display. Bill is exceedingly careful when he talks about his past, his thoughts. If it's spoken aloud, it's part of the narration. It was made by someone else.
He would like to choose his own answers to some things. He would like them to be not censored for audiences or polished to turn a tighter corner on a punchline. If the price of that is never mentioning them... So be it.
