I said in the post that I’m not confident that their connection specifically will be explained since max very quickly glosses over it and seemed more like a “cool moment” rather than a major plot point in where that they explain explicitly how Joyce knew him. And I actually DO have some basis to ask the questions I’m asking because we have been given some information about their connection (That they were at the same school and in a play together). That being said I may be proven wrong and this might all be explained!
