[ Basil is his friend-- his long time best friend. Childhood friend, even. But Something happened between them and Sunny cannot remember what it was, but his defense mechanism considers Basil a threat now-- somebody to be forgotten because the pain associated with him is too severe.
No wonder his mind is fuzzy. The last time he saw Basil was probably at Mari's funeral (if he even attended), but he had blocked out most of that. He had blocked out the way his parents cried and the way the preacher kept talking about how could such a beautiful young lady take her own life. Sunny had blocked out how his parents fought so much after Mari's death and how ultimately his father left them. There's very little he can remember and all that he can remember are the good things. His memory is spotty and although he hasn't completely forgotten Basil, he's forgotten how green his eyes are-- the exact color of his flaxen hair. He just remembers 12 year old Basil, full of joy and life and passion before Something happened.
He'll recognize this as Basil, or a figment of his imagination playing tricks on him. An imaginary Basil.
His hand gently curls around Basil's unnerving feeling hand. ]
