I love the moment when Ren realizes that Billy' simply lonely and homesick-that despite his resemblence to Ray, he's an entirely different person.

Yeah. Well with the big band comment it kind of sets this story up as post-HCL. So maybe it's not just Canada that Billy's missing... Although, no one could mistake Ren for Joe Dick. ;D

And the "I want to be home. Take me home, Ren' line...absolutely beautiful.

Why thank you! That line is the only reason I came up with a half decent title, so yay!
