[Beyond was an only child too, but he spent the back end of his childhood in an orphanage among a number of other brilliant, damaged children, so he learned to deal with others. There wasn’t much emphasis on socialization, however, only on studying, on acquiring and retaining the knowledge needed to function as a replacement to the world’s greatest detective, should the need arise. Beyond mostly kept to himself.
He’s mostly kept to himself since arriving in this strange village - no need to change his habits simply because he’s found himself somewhere he shouldn’t be.

It’s only by chance that Beyond is in the vicinity of Eddie and Venom when that blood-curling shriek rings through the air, and it stops him in his tracks, heartbeat hammering in his chest.]
Hello? Who’s there?
