Summary
The story of Tess: how she meets Joel and the years of survival beyond.
“So let’s do it,” Tess whispered fiercely.
“What?”
“Let’s just not die. You, me, Tommy. We’ll go all the way to the end, as far as we have to go. Fuck Cordyceps and fuck the future. Let’s just not fucking die.”
“Well, all right,” Joel agreed. “You’re the boss.”
It was absurd optimism, a ridiculous fight: don’t fucking die. But it was the biggest Fuck You she could muster against reality. She was not going to give in, no matter how bad it got. She’d seen people take the easy, quiet way out with their pills or bullets. She got it. She even envied them a little. That kind of quick death would never belong to her. She was too full of fight, too angry at the world.
“We’ll go as far as we have to,” Joel murmured.
(Extra chapter added 16/11. It's the new Chapter 5. No other content has been altered.)

Summary
It's not that she regrets the namesake, the memory of a dead child enshrined forever in the identity of the one that lived but for Olivia it was always Etta.
