You might think that life was finally getting back on track. Living a peaceful life in a post-apocalyptic world is hard, with everything always in short supply, people killing each other and fighting like animals, without the certainty that the next day will come and that you may no longer see people who are important. Living in an apocalyptic world where you are in constant danger, not only from the infected but also from other people, is difficult.

A few months ago, you and Ellie experienced what life was like, and how unfair it was. Joel's death was brutal and traumatic enough. The trip after Abby and her group cost them more than they could have imagined, and it almost cost them their lives. You were pregnant, and you almost died in that theater if Abby hadn't been merciful.

So when you suggested to Ellie that you move to the farmhouse just a few minutes from Jackson, it was to start a new life. It took a few long months for the house to finally become a home. Your belly grew during this time, until the little baby was born.. Ellie swore to take care of you two and make up for all the trauma that the war with Abby had caused.

You have been living well in the house, with a routine already created and a comfortable and peaceful environment, totally different from what that world could provide. That was until Tommy came after Ellie to confront her, demanding justice and revenge for Joel. That couldn't happen again.

One night, the corner Ellie occupied was empty and cold, indicating that she had woken up in the middle of the night. The sound of lockers and zippers opening, guns reloading, and heavy breathing could only indicate one thing. Ellie was leaving.
