Summary
She thinks it’s a joke at first when she finds out that Joel’s a patroller, too. She’s a veteran, so it was a simple thing for her to be assigned to the work as well, but the idea of gentle, loving Joel with a gun in hand, fighting and killing, is almost laughably absurd.
She doesn’t know how anyone could look at the man who spends hours on the porch with his daughter patiently teaching her guitar and think “yes, he’s good in a fight.” She doesn’t know how anyone could look at the man who regularly scoops up his fussy nephew and soothes him with an experienced parent’s deftness and think “yes, he’ll absolutely kill without hesitation.” She doesn’t know how anyone could look at the man who lets his teenager manhandle him to steal his food right off his plate because it makes her laugh and think “yes, he’s ruthless enough to take out a threat.”
She doesn’t know how anyone could look at Joel Miller and think he’d be a good patroller, and day by day, she worries about it more and more.

Summary
In his many years of taking on jobs for too-little pay, there’s one assignment he’s never worked. The other workers call it the “preschool brigade,” the FEDRA-school kids sent out into the field for what they call “work experience” to get them used to the real world. Really, it’s a behavioral tool, he knows, an example of “better act right or you’ll end up like these poor fuckers when you’re grown.”
He's deliberately never worked on one, uninterested in being put in charge of a kid doing a dangerous job they shouldn’t be. The kids that get sent on the preschool brigade are the ones FEDRA doesn’t necessarily care about getting back, after all, and there are things even adults shouldn’t be doing, not as untrained as most of them are.
And then comes the day one of the FEDRA guards assigned to his work detail that leads over a sullen-looking girl, who kicks rocks the entire way.

Summary
“Alright,” he tells her, holding her shoulders to make sure he has her attention. “Remember: Easter is not a contact sport, alright?”
She rolls her eyes.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” she says. “I just did an Easter egg hunt this morning, remember? Me and Ollie did just fine.”
“Yeah,” he acknowledges, “but now you’re going with the kids your age. Things get competitive.” Sarah had once bitten another 6 year old at an Easter egg hunt. It had been awkward, but it had also meant they were not invited back to that church next year no matter how much his mother bugged him about it, so it had been an overall win. “Just don’t kill anyone, alright? No Easter wrecking ball behavior.”
“We’ll see,” she says with a devilish little smirk that means absolutely nothing good.
“Ellie.”
“Fine, I will not be an egg assassin even though I would be such a fucking great egg assassin. Happy?”
