    Summary

    "I don't think I can ever forgive you for that. But I would like to try."

    -

    “Where is Joel?” asks Ellie. He’s dead. He’s dead because of her, and they don’t want to tell her.

    “Joel just got out of surgery,” Maria answers calmly, taking both of Ellie’s hands in hers. Ellie’s eyes snap back open. “Tommy is with him. You’ll be able to see him soon.” Ellie starts to sit again, to stand, to go to him, but Maria squeezes her hands in warning. “First, we need to make sure you’re okay. Next, we need to understand what happened out there, what Tommy and Dina can’t tell us. Then, I’ll take you to Joel.”

    Or: Joel survives, Ellie is still bent on revenge, and their family just wants to help.
