    Summary

    You have a momentary advantage now though. An infinitesimal chance to change things. Perhaps, together you and Ellie can save him. You have one bullet, Ellie is still on the floor, and there are a million odds stacked against you both. You can both try though. You have to try.

    You take a deep breath and swallow, try to think quickly of the smoothest route out of this mess. Your family used to joke you’d try and talk your way out of anything, try and convince the infected not to bite you. This is the highest stake negotiation of your life now, because it’s not for you. It’s for Joel. It’s for Ellie.

     

    or you and Ellie get there just a little earlier and everything changes.
