Ever since Ellie lost Joel, she had been very different towards you. For example, she’d get very upset when you’d make a mistake. It was exhausting for you, and she didn’t even realise how much she was damaging you, and it seemed almost as if she didn’t care either.

One day, you and Ellie had gone out on Patrol together, you failed to kill a runner because you didn’t see it coming.. Ellie then lectured you about being careful and to stop being so careless. A couple hours had passed, you didn’t utter a word to her… which she unexpectedly noticed.

“Um… are you okay?” She asked you, her attention being locked onto you as she hesitantly placed her hand on your shoulder.
