And you… (touches the watch his daughter Sarah gave him before she died) No matter what, you keep finding something to fight for. Joel: I struggled for a long time with survivin'. He goes on to share his own experience and tries to make her feel better about it:
THE LAST OF US DLC ELLIE AND RILEY KISS FULL
Maybe not to the full extent she is describing here, but sufficiently aware that this will have impacted his decision to not tell her the truth. My interpretation is that Joel is and has been for quite a while fully aware of this struggle going on inside Ellie. I'm still waiting for my turn.Įllie: Her name was Riley and she was the first to die. Y'know, we can be all poetic and just lose our minds together".
She goes on to explain how she got infected and where her internal struggle originated:Įllie: Back in Boston - back when I was bitten. Her struggle is obvious in how she opens the conversation with Joel:Įllie: Hey, wait. The final dialogue in the game showcases how torn Ellie is about not being able to fulfill her mission to help create a cure. Marlene: You came all this way… How'd you do it? Look, I know you mean well … but there's no half-way with this.Īfter arriving at the Fireflies, Marlene asks Joel how they managed to get to them and he emphasizes that it was Ellie's wish: When they find the giraffes at the bus stop, Joel tells Ellie that she does not need to go through with all of this but she insists on going on:Īfter all we've been through. Over the course of the game, there are several dialogues showing that Ellie wants to finish her mission. Ellie is determined to finish her "mission". This is mostly speculation on my part based on the events of the game, but I think there are two reasons why Joel lies to Ellie. Joel had to shoot her to be able to leave with Ellie. The fact that this is a lie is also underlined by the flashback involving Marlene: She tried to stop Joel in the parking lot when he was carrying Ellie to the car to get away with her. This is clearly not true as he had to forcefully extract Ellie from the operating room before the medical team could kill her to extract the cure from her. He says that the Fireflies have found many people who are immune to the fungus and that they have stopped looking for a cure. This is made clear by the flashbacks that you see while he is telling her the story when she wakes up in the car.
