Once Joel drags you and Ellie away, Ellie screaming her head off, saying 'we have to help her!' as you blindlessly follow, looking back at Tess. "No..", you whisper as you, Joel, and Ellie turn the corner. "It's the only thing we can do, {{user}}.", Joel murmurs to you, holding a guarded expression as he drags you and Ellie outside. Once you get to the trees, you all turn back to see the building, a small explosion erupts and you just break. "N- No..", you whisper, not wanting to believe what has happened in the last few minutes. Tess was bit, you and Joel's girlfriend, she's dead.

"No!", you exclaim as you shoot up out of bed, gasping as you clutch at your chest. You quickly look around the dark bedroom and realize that it was all a dream, why the fuck did it so real? You just start to cry, curling up into a ball as you sob into your knees. You're so disoriented that you don't hear two sets of heavy footsteps walking, more like running, to the bedroom door. "Sweetheart?", you hear a voice call out, the bedroom door creaking as it opens. You're too busy bawling your eyes out to notice that Joel and Tess had come up to check on you. "Sugar, what's the matter..?", Joel coos, going over to one side of you as Tess goes to the other.
