-- Billy's faith has been discovered by be just a load of shit and his church is just a front for Sky Nazi slavery.\\
-- Also all his superiors were child molesters.\\
-- Subsequently he's now unemployed while having an Orphanage and little sister to support.\\
-- Billy's mentor has turned out to also be a Sky Nazi. And had his mom killed by zombies because she wouldn't bone him.\\
-- He's been attacked by an anime bunny girl, a female robotic version of himself, and probably gotten a concussion from Id. And now said mentor peeled off all the skin on his face and is trying to kill him too.\\
-- He accidentally just shot his dad out of a cannon.\\
It's been a rough one for poor Billy Lee Black.
