Summary
Ellie’s head is pounding as she drinks her water and waits for Marlene to come back.
She doesn’t really know what to think. She and Joel spent months traversing the country and going through hell to get to this Firefly hospital, but now that they’ve made it, it’s underwhelming.
Ellie has a bump on the back of her head from where they knocked her out after she lost her goddamn mind when she was snatched away from Joel. She knows she stabbed at least two people, felt the knife sink into their thighs or sides or wherever she hit, but she didn’t do as much damage as she’d have liked before they took somewhat-extreme action and smacked her hard over the head.
She’s antsy. It’s been at least ten minutes since Marlene left, and she said she’d be right back.
Ellie’s first question when she woke up on the hospital bed was “Where’s Joel?” And the answer she got back – “Getting checked over downstairs” – was unhelpful and much too vague for her liking.
Why couldn’t they get checked out together? They both got struck on the head, it seems like the same doctor could look at them both.
Something feels off.
(Ellie and Joel get to the Firefly hospital, but things play out a little differently)

Summary
“Someone get Tommy! Get Maria!”
Ellie perks up, wondering why they’re being yelled for so frantically. Though Jackson is run by the Council, Maria and Tommy are the ones people often go to first when something goes wrong. There’s a wide variety of reasons that they could be being yelled for – god, once the two of them were forced to come running because a cat got stuck in a tree – but something about this time unsettles her.
She walks away from Shimmer, who whinnys when the rest of the carrots she’d been gobbling up end up back in Ellie’s pocket, but Ellie leaves with a pat and a distracted “be back soon.” Being in the stables with Shimmer is one of the only places she feels truly at peace. Her mind conjures thoughts of another place, but that house, that person, have been off the table for years.
Another round of shouting for the two occurs, and Ellie jogs over to the main street to see what’s going on.
There’s a flurry of activity at the clinic, and Ellie’s heart drops to her stomach. Someone got hurt, she thinks. But who, and why were people shouting for Tommy and Maria? They aren’t doctors, and usually only family get yelled for when someone is injured.
Oh god, Ellie thinks. No.
