the look of pure rage on joel’s face when henry prevents him from going to help ellie as she is being attacked... pedro pascal you fucking asshole.
the look on henry’s face as he realizes what he has done... the way he says “sam”... lamar johnson you fucking king.
the little scream ellie does when henry shoots himself... bella ramsay you fucking angel.
THAT scene was brutal.
Joel is deaf in his right ear, so he will sleep on that side when he has to be on his guard, like in the forest, or until Tess showed up back in Boston. But he turned around during the night to be closer to Ellie and didn’t hear Henry and Sam showing up.

I should be working on my dissertation, and have been, but I thought it'd be fun (for me :P) to loop you all in somehow. Therefore I bring you a very silly poll!
*best means whatever it means to you; feel free to propagandize
**yes, I deliberately excluded Shakespeare (from the poll, not the dissertation, lol)
After shooting the guy that attacked Joel. And when Joel told her to go back behind the wall, she was wiping her tears and was also probably getting flashbacks about having no choice but to shoot someone.
When Ellie and Riley were attacked by an infected person in the mall and they both got bitten. They chose to wait it out and turn together.
But when Riley finally turned and Ellie didn't. Ellie probably had no other choice but to shoot Riley.
And then Ellie got to experience it again with Sam. Losing another friend to the infected.
This time, since Ellie knows she's immune, she cut herself with her knife and rubbed her blood on Sam's bite. Hoping it would work.
"Stay awake with me." "I promise."
The facial expression on Ellie's face when she hugged Sam said: Please, please, please work. I cannot lose another friend. Not again.
But then it happened again.
And Henry had to shoot Sam in front of her.
It was ironic how both Ellie and Henry's first kills were the one person that mattered to them the most.
