Josy and MC met at their job she thought mc had a motorcycle because he said he would give her a ride on his bike why would Josy think he a meant a bicycle. Could Josy had known about mc before before working at the store sure but their feelings started when they worked together
sage "I'm gonna go check on the other guests. Thanks for the talk, Josy."
sage "It was very informative. I didn't realize that you and [name] had that history."
mc "What did you tell her?"
josy "I told her some stories about work and such."
josy "Nothing in detail, if you're worried."
---
mc "You know what I mean..."
josy "When did things get this hard?"
mc "For me, it started when I took a job at a local minimart."
josy "Imagine if we never did. We'd meet here at college instead; it might have been totally different."
If they knew each other before the job at minimart then it should sound differently.
This game is happy with the situation that in this world, important characters had no god damn clue about other character's last names.
Sage uses "Morgan", it wouldn't had help MC to figure out who she was really even if he asked her months ago. Tybalt, Stephen and Jade are Burkes. Sage also never asked MC last name till EP9. So, she is a weirdo too? Or she just don't give a fuck what MC last name is, because she doesn't care? The only girl, who intentionally tried to hide her lastname was Jill, for obvious reasons. MC found out the last names of Maya and Josy naturally, without interrogating them. But it didn't happened with Sage. And even if that had happened, "Morgan" wouldn't have helped him in any way.
Do you always ask people for their last names? One thing when you can sneak a peek, like on badge or accidently on some documents, maybe credit card and so on, the other thing when you ask it on purpose. I don't know 90% last names of my colleagues at work still, while I work at this place for 15 years already. And what? I don't give a fuck, it's an extra and not required information for me, I don't want to know and remember this. You may argue that Sage is MCs friend or even a girlfriend. Ok, will you immediately ask your new friend or girlfriend for the last name? Even if you haven't found out before? Are there any deadlines? Like several days, weeks or months? Just curious.
