He spent years refusing to acknowledge something he understood was valuable, and now regrets his behavior, but at the same time doesn't seem to take accountability for it. As he tells Rachel these memories, there's not much that is redeeming for Joseph. He is wallowing in a combination of grief and self-pity. Speaking of which, hats off to Rachel - she is much more patient than I probably would be. This is when the dialogue seems the least realistic, because of course Rachel would already know what’s going on. After a wonderful opening dialogue and graceful hint-dropping, the subtlety of the exact situation is undermined when the same events are just explicitly stated later. As with most games in this genre, my biggest complaint is over-explaining to the player with summary "in case you didn't figure this out on your own" dialogue.
