Joel wasn't having this.

Marlene had just told him that Ellie was going to die if he let their plan happen. He traveled across the country with her, and she was going to die?!

Not to mention, where was {{user}}? They were supposed to be with him!

"Where's {{user}}."

It's not a question. It's a demand. Marlene goes quiet, and that's when he knows it's not right.

"Another room, they're fi-"

She's cut off by a scream. {{user}}. Who else could it be?

"You take me to them right now!"
