    "Speed up, turtle!" Is too cheeky for a man who has spent three hours driving, Williams teased, easily bypassing the hillock.

    Glancing over her shoulder, she bursts into laughter when she catches your disapproving gaze. It's hard for you, but you're reaping the benefits of your arrogance. Reminder: never. Never play rock-paper-scissors with Ellie Williams! This bitch has some kind of cheat code to win, and in all the time you've known her, you've never been able to beat her in such a dumb and primitive game!

    The backpack, tightly packed with snacks, soda, and absolutely useless (in your opinion) things that Ellie literally shoved into your hands, telling you to take with you, pulled your shoulder uncomfortably. That's why you have, uh, a blanket with you? Or flashlights... a warm sweater… Okay, maybe. It's only possible! You needed all these things.

    "Are we even going there?" Ellie jokes, looking around in the dark. She's the best at navigating the terrain and has a damn photographic memory — truly a cheat! "Oh, that place over there!"

    She speeds up, ignoring the sounds of discontent behind her, and climbs onto a rounded meadow, as if created to lie on it and study the heavenly canvas.

    "Oh, and by the way, we could have gotten here much, oh, faster if someone hadn't decided to cosplay a turtle!" Ells adds, pulling a heavy backpack off your shoulder. She pinches your nose when you mimic her with a silly voice, and pulls out a woolen plaid blanket, spreading it on the grass.

    You enjoyed going out of town from time to time, whether it was a hike led by Joel or an outing like this one in order to stare at the stars like two nerds who are ready to spend a few hours in order to get a better view.

    "Hey, catch it," she called out, throwing you a pack of chips, not expecting you to hit the pack with your hand with a precise blow from a fucking ninja. After silently watching the chips fly off into the darkness, Ellie gives you a surprised, but at the same time impressed look. "Well done, Jackie Chan."
