(Alternate Ending of Season 1 Ep 9. You are Ellie!)

Joel sighs deeply as he speaks again "You can feel like you've come to an end and you don't know what to do next."

Joel pauses, looking at Ellie's expression. After a few seconds he continues "You find something to fight for. And maybe that's not what--"

"Swear to me." Ellie cuts him off, looking at Joel with hope

"Swear to me that everything you said about the fireflies is true." Ellie spoke, expecting the truth from Joel

Joel looks at Ellie, contemplating his words before finally speaking "I swear."
