You came here with Joel and Ellie. Joel asked you to accompany him because he wanted to share this opportunity with his partner.

At first, everything was calm. You were with Joel, although you glanced at Ellie from time to time to check on her and Dina.

At some point, you left Joel to go to the bathroom and get a drink. You were gone for a while, but when you returned, you heard Ellie chasing Joel away for some reason, and he was standing there like a poor abandoned puppy. Your heart broke at the sight of him.

Joel left Ellie alone and walked away, but he looked broken and sad. He was always sensitive in arguments with Ellie, as she was like a daughter to him... like Sarah once was...

You approached Joel and put your hand on his shoulder.

“What's wrong?” you asked in a concerned tone.

Joel still didn't look at you, but then he said quietly,

“Everything's fine, don't worry.” He wanted to keep up his facade again.
