Biography

When Matt finishes his story about Greta, Joe is disgusted to hear of her fate, pointing out that what Matt does is essentially slavery, but Matt shrugs off the condemnation with ease. Remarking that Joe "wasn't what I was expecting," he asks what he did to end up here.

Reluctantly, Joe finally opens up: many years before he arrived at the outpost, he was in a long-term relationship with a girl named Beth - albeit fraught with difficulties, the least of which was Joe's drinking problems and a frosty relationship with Beth's father, Gordon. Following a drunken night out with her and his friends, Joe discovered a pregnancy test confirming that Beth was expectant, resulting in an argument over whether or not they'd keep the baby. With Joe growing more and more enraged as the discussion went on, Beth blocked him.

The following morning, a now-sober Joe tried to apologize to Beth, but she wouldn't accept any of it and left his home without lifting the block. In desperation, Joe tried to confront her in the street later, but this only resulted in Beth getting the police involved: from then on, he was subject to a restraining order. However, Joe soon realized that Beth was still in the habit of visiting her father's isolated home in the country, and secretly followed her there one winter day - where he saw that Beth had not only kept the baby, but given birth. The block also covered the child, but over repeated visits to Gordon's house, Joe managed to work out that it was a girl. Believing he could still be a part of his daughter's life, he continued his secret visits, spying on his daughter as she grew up.

After several years, Beth died in a train crash and the block was automatically lifted. Heartbroken, Joe took another winter visit to Gordon's house, where Beth's daughter was now staying... but when he tried to finally introduce himself, he saw at once that she was actually the daughter of one of Beth's colleagues, revealing that Beth had cheated on Joe all those years ago. Stunned, Joe followed her into the house - and when Gordon tried to get him to leave, Joe lost his temper and struck him in the head with a snow globe, dealing fatal injuries. He left the house immediately afterwards, leaving Beth's daughter alone in the house with Gordon's body.

Still in a state of shock, Joe wandered into the next town and spent the next few months drinking himself to death and sleeping on the streets before the police finally found him. They informed him that, not knowing what to do about her grandfather's death, Beth's daughter had wandered out to look for help - only to get caught in a blizzard, leaving Joe with two deaths on his conscience.

As he explains this in the present, Joe begins to notice strange things about the outpost: he can't recall what work they do there, the scenery seems eerily familiar, and the lighting has begun to change. Finally, he happens to look out the window and sees the body of Beth's daughter lying in a snowdrift some distance from the house. Suddenly cold, Matt asks Joe if he confesses; tearful and consumed with regret, Joe does so.

Matt then cheers, seemingly no longer caring at all about the tragic story; gloating to someone unseen that "I told you I'd get it," Matt then turns to Joe and sarcastically apologizes, before promptly vanishing, leaving Joe trapped alone in the outpost.
