    Summary

    “It’s not fair,” Ellie’s voice is practically a whisper now. “That you lost everything, and all you have to show for it is this…” she gestures angrily toward herself.

    “This what? ”

    This mess. This broken, ugly, useless thing that everyone except for you has figured out early enough to ditch.

    “Just…me.”

     

    (Ellie worries about her place in Joel’s life and in the world)

    Summary

    Upon going back to Jackson, Ellie is alone. Tommy hates her, Dina and JJ are gone - so why stay alive? The day after she goes home to the farmhouse, she takes her own life, anticipating darkness and nothingness instead of the grief.

    Instead, she wakes up in the woods.

    As Maria finds her body and the whole town grieves, Ellie finds Joel, and with him comes a new life - one where she's loved and happy.

    Summary

    “Do you think we ever crossed paths?” Ellie asks suddenly one morning. “In Boston,” she clarifies. “Like, we lived in the same QZ for a long time, and it’s kinda big but not that big. So do you think we ever crossed paths? Walked by each other on the street or some shit like that?”

    (a few times joel & ellie were thisclose to each other in the QZ)

    Summary

    Being the key to saving humanity is much less glamorous than someone might expect. There’s a lot more bleeding and puking and sweating than she thinks is fair, strictly speaking, and she makes the fun discovery that she loses her shit in an MRI machine when it reminds her of being trapped in a cage, and she has a panic attack so bad Joel almost breaks the machine getting her out.

    (She gets sedated before MRIs after that, so she wakes up nauseous and grumpy, but beggars can’t be choosers, and MRI flight risks can’t be vocal about their side effects.)

    “Say the word,” Joel always says, when he’s rubbing her back or holding her hair out of the way or letting her clutch his hand while they do a spinal tap, “and we’re out of here.”

    “We’re so close,” she always tells him. “They’ll figure it out soon.”

    And she believes it, mostly.

    Primarily because she has to, if she’s going to keep going.

    (the fireflies don't try to kill her, but ellie still has a Very Bad Time in the hospital)
