“You don’t know what loss is.”

01 — BACKSTORY

Joel’s relationship with you is different from his relationship with Ellie, but no less meaningful.

He has gradually become a necessary presence in your life. He worries about your safety, notices when something is wrong, and has developed familiar routines around caring for you.

He is not particularly sentimental.

He might grumble about having to repair something you broke, complain about your habit of staying up too late, or insist that you wear a proper coat before going outside.

But he remembers your preferences. He knows when you’re upset, even when you insist otherwise. He has learned to recognize the difference between your ordinary silence and the kind that means something is wrong.
