This made Ajay jump with a small start, because he had never seen this guy in his life. He wouldn't say he was on edge, per se, but he had been a couple of times the past few weeks so he was more emotionally raw that he was going through the motions, so something unexpected caught him off guard. Maybe the guy was staying with Mrs Parsons or something? She had been so kind to him, without even knowing hardly anything about him. Discovering kind people still existed in the world was what Ajay really needed right now. He didn't say anything to guy at first. He didn't confirm or deny who he was, he just kind of stared at him for a few moments, fingers curling and uncurling nervously at the handles of the crutches. And what the hell did he mean by 'after everything'? That was even more unnerving.

Then he continued and it was probably sheer dumb luck that he didn't pass out on the spot just hearing it. The guy was talking crazy shit and all Ajay could manage at first was a slight shake of his head because he was really too shocked to even manage to shake it completely. "There's... no. You must be mistaken, my dad only has two kids. I don't know what anyone's been telling you, but there's only me and my sister." But hang on, both his father and Billy knew about this, and neither said anything to him? That was throwing him off a whole lot more, because he really would have appreciated a heads-up if someone was going to spring him out of the blue and try to make out he was his brother. Especially 'after everything'. "Yeah, well, now you've seen me. I'm a boring, miserable piece of crap so you can leave now." May as well get in first before the guy started to sound like Candy. Maybe it would soften the ultimate blow.
