I love that you have such a complete back story for all these characters (even the ones we never see and barely hear about on screen).

Poor Will, still doing what needs to be done, even if he does "[feel] like an impostor" doing it (the piracy and the "slightly-oversized mantle" or, more accurately, how he fulfills his obligation to his father then and how he fulfills his obligation to The Dead now).

And it's great to see Bill keeping to form, waiting for the dust to settle before making his move (in the same way he belatedly - I assume - moved to do right by Jack). It works well in this situation with Will. (And it's good to see he has a sense of humor. :-p)

Well done. Thank you!
