[ A light-hearted remark. He does frown a little at the idea of replacing it with better memories - an idea that seems wrong. That moment was a fundamental part of how he came to be. He doesn't say anything about it, though, and breathes out instead: ]
Definitely real. My birth certificate would prove it.
[ But only for Eastview. Westview also exists, but that's different. ] They're pretty normal names? It's not like West Virginia and East Virginia doesn't exist.
You can probably make your birth certificate say anything you want it to.
[He shrugs. Billy's so determined to be sad!! First he's sad about dying on his birthday now he's sad about trying to make an effort not to think too much about dying on his birthday. The only way to fix this is tequila ... ]
So?
You ready for a birthday bash?
C'mon, I don't wanna do this with you dragging your feet and trying to think that you gotta be reluctant and shit. I want you to be excited! We're turning seventeen, man! We've got no parents, we can do literally anything. From PG to NC17. You wanna go in PJs and have a pillow fight, sure. You wanna get fairy strippers, that's probably a thing! You wanna eat cream puffs until you puke, that's probably part of what I'm doing.
