Home. It's a concept near foreign to the her. Home was whatever orphanage the military threw her in before she inevitably got kicked out. Home was hiding in whatever safehouse the Fireflies had shoved her in for the night. Home used to be with him. He cared about her, more so than any other human being has before. She knew he would destroy the world if it was to keep her safe.
But, if her gut is right, then he might have done just that. And lied straight to her face about doing it. He killed them all, there is no doubt in her mind. But why? Why, after everything they went through, would he throw it all away?
But she accepts the lie, for now, at least. Because knowing the truth, knowing for certain that he did it, would be too much. So for now, she'll accept the lie and try to move on. Try to find something worth fighting for. And maybe… just maybe, she can start to trust him again.
Maybe one day, Joel will be her home again.
