![]() Naturally-lest you forget that this is a video game adaptation-he steals their guns and kills them. Marlene sends two nameless and disposable grunts to escort Joel from the premises. She says that she’s the only one who understands Joel’s pain, because she was there when Ellie was born-promising at the time to protect her no matter what. Joel demands to be taken to her right away, but Marlene won’t allow him. “There won’t be any pain,” Marlene explains, essentially revealing that Ellie will not survive. “Cordyceps grows in the brain,” Joel reminds them. I don’t know if this makes sense! But it may not be fact, either.

Marlene is there, and she tells him that Ellie is being prepped for surgery. When Joel wakes up, he’s in the hospital-a place at the end of the rainbow that I honestly thought they would never find. Our heroes are ambushed by a group of people and separated. Good things aren't allowed on The Last of Us, remember? So this moment is short-lived.

As she should be! Hell, have they even talked about what happened? How Ellie had to save him from dying? Any mention of all the traumatizing things that happened to her? It feels like they haven't. ![]() The poor guy’s trying to cheer her up, even though she’s clearly traumatized from what went down in cannibal city.
