When Rooster kills a young boy on his horse who appears to be with the dangerous criminal Ned Pepper (Robert Duvall), it is made clear that he has come to see life as having little value; his apathy is further emphasized when he fails to even be concerned as to what the boy's name is. The boy Billy Walsh, is identified later by a rancher, who identifies his body when Rooster goes to him to bury it. By having the name be told by another character, it becomes clear that Rooster kills to kill, not to make it personal. He does not care about what the boy’s name is, only that he was a threat and now he is dead. He has become numb to violence and only sees it as a means to an end.

So he hides it best he can, holding it tight between his fingers and never letting go. It grows within him as he matures, and the stinging seed of loneliness grows into a bitter flower of resentfulness as those around him leave him seperate from their games and
