Tragedy 611 - Joe gets good

"But I don't understand, how could he turn out to be good in just an instant?" elvina Mumbles.
"I also can't believe he's changed so fast."
"Am, can you explain what happened?" said Lucy.
"True, explain to us why he could be here" Rei said.
"I don't know how exactly. But from what I heard from Luna and the others, they met Joe in the woods. At the time, he was in trouble. He took a man with him."
"A man?"
"From what he said, that man was his sister. He was unconscious. His name is Derek."
"You mean, the Derek Dorothy was talking about?"
"Yes. That's Joe's brother. He was severely injured and unconscious until now, when his condition was like that, Joe asked Luna and the others for help. Dorothy, who was feeling sorry, let them stay here and asked me to help take care of her. From what I heard, too, Joe was being chased by the guards."
"Then, what happened? Did anything happen after Joe came here? Did he commit another crime?" ask Elvina.
"Nothing has changed. Everything's fine. In fact, every day Joe is busy accompanying the unconscious Derek. He took care of his sister with great affection. He loved his sister very much."
"It's strange.., ." muttered another possessed Elvina.
William, who had not understood what they were talking about. But then Rei explained everything to William.
Before long, their attention instantly shifted as they looked at Dorothy who had just walked out from inside Derek's room. The woman came out with some medical supplies.
"Dorothy!" Elvina immediately approached the woman, asking for an explanation from her.

"Can we sit with you?"
"Yes. Please."
Rei and the others then sat down beside Joe.
"So, have you really changed?" elvina Mumbles. They've seen for themselves what Joe's attitude is.
At lunch, he even seemed to blend in and help the other residents of the village. He also seemed familiar with Thalia.
"Yes, as you can see. I've changed. I'm no longer the Joe you knew. I've stopped working for the professor" he replied.
"But why did you suddenly change? What makes you like this?" William was still curious about what was happening.
"It's because of my sister."
"You got a sister?" ask Rei.
"Yes. I have a sister. He's a man, besides, he's the only family I have in this world." Joe explained without looking.
"But you kidnapped me a while ago" said William.
"But I set you free, didn't I?" Joe turned his focus to her.
"Yes.., you did set me free."
"Why did you release Will back then? Don't you work for the professor?" This time Elvina asked.
"When I kidnapped William and locked him in my hiding place, I realized something. William, it reminds me of my brother. Cranks. I had a fight with him and we hadn't seen each other for a long time. Being with William reminds me of him," Joe muttered bowingly.
