    Summary

    Post-TLOU2

    Dina,

    I’m back in Jackson.

    I’ll be at our old spot, Saturday night at 23:00 if you want to talk and can spare a few minutes of your time. You don’t owe me anything. You don’t have to listen to me or ever see me again if you don’t want to. I won’t blame you if that’s the case. I understand.

    I’ll be there, and if you don’t show up I’ll stay away for good. I promise.

    E

     

    Ellie returns to Jackson to heal, and hopefully, eventually, reconcile with her family.

    Summary

    Part 2 Spoilers

    Ellie returns to Jackson. She’s a little older and a little wiser, and prepared to face the consequences of her actions. Even if it means breaking her heart all over again. Even if it means being alone. Ellie knew she deserved to be alone after what she'd done, but love doesn't always work in the way you would expect.

    Summary

    "There’s a breeze rustling the sun warmed grass. It tickles Ellie’s fingertips and she wonders how it’s possible for anything to feel even remotely pleasant after everything she’s done; she recognizes the colors in the sunset-- she knows they’re there as well as she knows the ink staining her skin and Dina’s favorite color and the way her heart had lit up every time JJ offered her one of his bright smiles or equally bright giggles."

    Or, Ellie returns to Jackson and begins the process of healing and understanding that the life she has left to live is very much worth fighting for after the events of the epilogue.

    Summary

    Ellie is well aware that this isn’t the most important part of the interaction, but damn, she must look like complete and utter shit. In all the late-night scenarios she conjured up in her head about seeing Dina again, she was, at the very least, wearing proper pants in them.

    (or, an ironic twist of fate lands Ellie back in Jackson)
