(sure He Had To Get To Tommy But Hes Known All Three Of Them For YEARS??? - Tumblr Posts
The show expanding on Bill, Frank, Tess, and Joel’s story was so heartbreaking. Within 24 hours Joel looses his partner and then finds out his only 2 friends are dead
LITERALLY!
I remember watching it with my mom and when Joel went out to the front yard with the letter, she just sniffled a little and said that now he has no one. and I think I did put that together, but hearing the agony in my mom's voice? shit broke me more than the realization did, I think. but also that was so close together, too??? like, Tess died, they walked for maybe a day or two (I think??) and then he finds out that Bill and Frank are also dead, and have been for a while? he didn't have the time to properly grieve Tess and now he has to grieve his only two friends? I don't know how he kept going after that
