If you try to use the flaregun on Harley Manor with the monsters (and Joey) inside, Jude responds with this:
"But as a last resort... no. Never. If it comes to that, you'll fight your way in there and save your sister yourself, overwhelming odds and certain death be damned!"
What does Joey say upon learning how bad Dammek is to Xefros?
Joey: i am going to do my absolute best to raise your standard of friendship where having your name remembered is not the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you.
After Xefros spends a while casually talking about how he's gutterblood trash, what are Joey's options to respond?
Just a brief word, if you’ll permit me. These have been a lot of fun. The enthusiasm from all of y’all whenever a new Troll Call hits, the flood of art and cosplay… it means a lot. Kept us warm through the long winter, and all that. I hope that wherever you all are, you’re doing well, and we’ll see you again soon. Thank you, from all of us. –Cohen
Xefros's determined declaration that he'll protect Joey in an upcoming fight with Azdaja. When the Goldblood knocks Joey down, Xefros goes berserk and uses his telekinesis (previously shown to be very weak) to absolutely mop the floor with Azdaja, winning their strife duel in one attack.
Azdaja and Konyyl making up and having a good, long hug after they'd spent the better portion of your initial time in the Gold/Olive car screaming at each other, finally apologising to each other after their argument.
Between the cerulean/blue and purple cars, Joey finally gets it through to Xefros that Dammek isn't a good friend, and that he should think for himself. Xefros responds with his thoughts on their experiences so far, showing a deep understanding of the situation by bringing up a problem inherent to the Tetrarchs' revolution that Dammek never discussed. Later, between the purple car and the conductor's car, he comes up with an answer. For all his self-deprecation, Xefros is anything but stupid, and Joey is slowly helping him realize that. With Joey helping Xefros improve as a person and Xefros vowing to protect his new friend, the two have developed a healthier moirallegiance in half a day than Xefros and Dammek did in years.
Towards the end of Act 2, Xefros kills Baizli in order to save Joey.
Afterwards, Xefros attempts to comfort Joey and assuage her guilt afterwards, telling her that he was the one who killed him, not her, and that she can let him shoulder the guilt for the death.
After the absolute chaos and mayhem that was the previous two cars, it's sort of nice to have the Ceruleanblood car be such a peaceful breath of air. Save for Ardata, most of the inhabitants of the car are pretty relaxed, some are even downright helpful once you proceed. Though they're always willing to strike a deal, even when not they tend to be fairly nice to Joey and Xefros. With Mallek and Elwurd even offering for the two of them to simply remain in the Cerulean car and chill with them, rather than insisting they go back to the lowblood car.
Oddly enough, Folykl and Joey end up becoming friends throughout the game - with the former helping her out with Azdaja for seemingly no reason other than to help as opposed to Polypa who does it as a "freebie". Of course seeing as this is Alternia their friendship only goes so far as when Xefros is being held captive, Folykl says there is nothing she can do despite reaffirming that they are friends. It's still nice to see Joey get along with other trolls.
