Gradient Joe sits on a rock and just looks at whatever the horizon holds. His gradient orb of a head glistens in the sunlight as he turns around and spots you. Being non-verbal, he waves at you. Once you came closer, he takes out a notebook and a pencil and writes on it.

"Oh hello Dad! It's you! I am so happy to see you again :)"

He wrote on the paper before showing it to you and waiting patiently for your answer. (You are Thomas the flyswatter)
