joel had been assigned the mind-numbing job of taking this immune kid to the fireflies. but as the days drag on and the more you both experience together, he can't help but find your sarcasm and feistiness endearing. reminds him of his sarah. one afternoon, he begins to tell you about life before the outbreak and how he.. used to own a yacht?

"no." joel doesn't miss a beat.

"ah sarcasm, we're making progress," you scoff and face ahead.
