Summary
Ellie opens her eyes, tries to remember when she had shut them so tightly, and blinks a few times. It doesn’t make a difference; the room is completely pitch black. She’s in here alone. No one is coming to get her. She doesn’t want Joel to come and see the mess she’s made anyway.
It’s cold and dark. And something just crawled over her arm. She thinks. It could have been a stray hair or a loose string, the more logical part of her brain counters. But she can feel her skin crawling or maybe something crawling on her skin.
She needs to breathe, but the air around her suddenly feels too stiff, the room around her is too constricting, her chest is too fucking tight, and it’s so fucking cold and dark, and she can’t breathe.

Summary
That girl. It could have just as easily been Ellie. And he couldn’t protect her. Couldn’t keep her from getting ripped apart by infected. Couldn’t get them out of there fast enough, aim well enough, couldn’t kill enough of them.
They’re an hour outside of Jackson, and the whole ride is spent with his thoughts consumed by the girl and the fight with the infected and the fact that they’re going to have to go back out to handle this. He knows Ellie was supposed to have a patrol today, had seen it in the log book. All he can do now is hope she stays on the short patrol path, straight out to Eugene’s old place and right back, especially with this storm still coming down the way it is.
