    Summary

    “I, uh… found these, back in the gift shop,” he says when he runs out of tasks. She glances over, brows twitching when he holds a kit up. “You ever see one?”

    She shakes her head, uncurling just enough to reach for the kit. Her fingers trace the faded image on the box, tapping the cartoon children flying a diamond-shaped kite.

    “It’s a kite,” Joel explains, watching for any spark of interest. “You make it, decorate it, an’ fly it when there’s wind. Reckon these are for kids, but…” He gestures toward the open area near the lake. “Good spot for it.”

    Summary

    There’s more blood than she expects, when she’s bit.

    Riley tears up one of her spare t-shirts so Ellie can wrap her arm up, but they have to change it twice before it stops soaking through. Weirdly, Riley’s hand doesn’t bleed as much. There’s a bit of blood, because, well, in teeth versus skin, teeth win, but she just dabs it away with a scrap of cloth and some water and it stops pretty quick.

    Worried about making it bleed again, Ellie leaves the wrapping on hers for so long that neither of them notice that the whorls of infection on her arm don’t match the infection creeping up Riley’s arm.

    Or: The one where Ellie bleeds a lot.

    Summary

    Joel pretends he doesn’t notice the toy robot go missing as soon as he and Henry look away. He ain’t going to interfere with Henry and Sam, but if Little Miss Sticky Fingers wants to give the stupid toy to Sam later, well, he’s not going to say anything either. The boy’s just a kid. They both are. And they don’t get to be just kids very often anymore.

    Not his place to say anything, but he won’t stop Ellie either.

    Or: Ellie steals stuff. Joel doesn't really care, but he notices. He also keeps giving her things. She spends a lot of time thinking about the things she owns.
