Guess so.

[ Under normal circumstances, he might be more invasive, if only in a good-natured way—what about you? What do you do? Do you train? Do you need a sparring partner? But he follows the cues here and doesn't come right out and show his hand, either. That, and he just doesn't really have the energy for it at this insane hour. ]

You ever think how out of everything they could've accused you of, they picked the weirdest thing? I dunno if that's just me. I can't figure out their angle.

They're just tryin' to get into your head. Looks like it worked.

[ Joel shoved his little paper in his bag and hasn't looked at it in weeks, not since he realized he couldn't destroy it. ]

...I guess. Yeah. I should probably just ignore it, but I kinda counted that as part of staying on my guard.

[ And yet he kind of looks like he hadn't really thought of that until now. ]

I just don't get why.

[aintyourdad]

The why matters a lot less than the how we're gonna get the hell out of here.

[ Whys, as far as Joel is concerned, are largely a waste of time. ]
