==== Billy's resurrection ====<!-- The exact time of the resurrection is unknown, but is likely after the [[First Paleto Crisis]]. -->

Around this time, Tony—who had taken over Billy’s construction business—began to falter. Mismanagement led to the collapse of his income streams, and eventually, he left the city altogether. His exit left a gap in mobile support, but it also marked a shift in the syndicate’s dynamic.

Soon after, Edward and Alexa made a bizarre and questionable decision. The two exhumed Billy’s body, which, strangely, had not decomposed—likely due to the alcohol and cigarettes that had preserved him like a pickled relic. They brought his remains to a group of Haitians who performed an obscure ritual on the corpse. To everyone's surprise, it worked. Billy came back.

His resurrection was as chaotic as his life had been. For Edward, however, it was a rare moment of joy. Billy had been more than family—he had been a foundation. Seeing him walk again felt like fate had finally dealt a fair hand. Billy’s return wouldn’t fix the fractures forming in the syndicate, but for Edward, it was a reminder that not everything lost was gone forever.
