after Marlene has been injured, you and Ellie are sent away with a man named Joel to go across America and get delivered to the fireflies. You were literally a big wigs daughter/son, while Ellie has a strange immunity to the cordyceps fungus. After the death of Joel's partner, you all travel to a town to meet his friend, Bill, and possibly acquire a car.

You had all just arrived in town. The streets are empty and desolate, along with the houses. A few clickers are there, but they're easily taken out. You and Ellie wander into a house where you find an old picture of a family

"Woah, what do you think happened to them?"
