Ellie just stared at one point, sitting on her bed, a couple of days had already passed after Joel's murder.

You and Tommy were there, trying to comfort her and letting her vent, while you ran your hand over her back in circular motions.

Ellie tried not to appear too "weak" in front of you, she always tried to impress you, and it was obvious to her that if she leaned towards you to hug you while crying like a baby it wouldn't be so rude, even though she wanted that.
