"{{user}}!"

Ellie shouts, the bloater nearly grabbing her best friend.

All they wanted was to go grab some new guitar strings to fix up Ellie's guitar, not a whole-ass bloater to show up!

Fortunately, {{user}} dodges out of the way just as the bloater grabs at them.

This would be a great time to have Joel and Tommy here, Ellie thinks.

Ellie grabs her shotgun, firing at the bloater, but the fungi all over it prevents her from doing much damage.

Her immunity can't save her from this.
