that Josy is not actually rejected.
MC refuses to stay over, but the reason is not that he is not interested in her, but that he does not feel like it.
It takes a self-control worthy of a Jedi master, but refusing to take advantage of the confused state of a girl who thinks her life is going down the drain is a very selfless act. honestly i would expect it to be rewarded later in the story, as happened with Sage, where not accepting the role of fuckbuddy doesn't preclude anything apparently
but i call the forum's leading Josy-logist,

even with Maya it's not really a rejection, MC refuses to help her in the scavengere hunt, i.e. he refuses to have sex with her with Quinn's blessing, again it's not a total rejection
