Look For The Light.
I've finished The Last of Us, Part II!
I don't want this game to still be going. Things can only get worse from here.
I don't want Ellie to kill Abby. I don't want Abby to kill Ellie. I just don't want anyone else to die.
Abby caught a break! We'll see how long that lasts.
Not very long at all, astonishingly. But, hey, at least it's not Ellie ruining Abby's day!
Are they seriously introducing new characters and factions at this stage? How much of this game is there?
Ellie killing that guy with a Clicker! My girl's so good at murder! I'm so proud of her!
I'd love it if this game ended with Ellie saving Abby from the Rattlers and the two of them teaming up, but, let's be honest, that's not going to happen.
Ellie's in pretty bad shape, and I'm starting to worry she'll end up collapsing and dying regardless of how this story ends.
I feel that's at least the third Rattler named Matteo I've killed.
It'd be really interesting to see stats on how long people hesitate before taking the final blow in that brutal fight against Abby. (Also on how long they hesitate before striking Nora.)
Ellie threatening Lev is upsetting, but I'm convinced she wouldn't actually have done him harm. She doesn't threaten Lev to prevent Abby from escaping. She's already in a position to prevent that. She threatens Lev to force Abby to fight her, because she can't kill Abby if she's not fighting back. So there's no way Ellie would actually carry out the threat; the threat itself is to prevent her from having to kill an unresisting person.
Ellie spared Abby at the last second! I wasn't expecting that! I'm so proud of her!!
I am also, of course, proud of her when she does kill people. I love that girl unconditionally.
I nearly got a little choked up when Ellie was sitting in the surf, crying, after letting Abby go. Ellie, I'm sure it feels terrible. But you did the right thing here. You really did. A lot of people died on the way here, but that doesn't mean that killing Abby would make it any better.
I'm very glad that Abby and Lev survive to make a life together. She's so fond of him and it's very sweet.
I feel that whether this game succeeds for you probably hinges pretty strongly on whether you warm to Abby. I'm glad I did in the end. I think Lev was crucial to that, so thank you for making this game work, Lev!
Ellie making a first tentative step towards reconciling with Joel just before his death is heartbreaking.
Aww, Ellie and Joel dueting over the credits!
Ellie lost a lot, and took a lot, but she made it out alive. I'm so glad. I don't know where she's going to go now, but I wish her the best.
I love Ellie so much. I think my biggest fear for this game was 'what if I don't love Ellie any more?', but I absolutely still love her. She makes some pretty terrible decisions, but, let's be honest, terrible decisions have never stood in the way of my loving a character.
I know this is a divisive game. I don't love it in the way I loved the original Last of Us, and I don't feel the original really needed a sequel, but I've enjoyed my time with it.
And now I'll finally be able to post this fic!
