And we're back to the worksheets. (They CAN'T do that, any more than Joel could have left Ellie with the Fireflies. As Neo said to Agent Smith at the end of Matrix Revolutions, "it was inevitable.")https://twitter.com/elliespoetry/status/1284966073964662787 …

I think they *could* have. It would have just been a different scenario.

Like I actually do think it would be more Interestimg if they had had a conversation at any point than that ghastly final scuffle. Truly. But I am willing to buy the idea that it required a different setting for them to do so.

I mean, it would have required a scenario where Ellie cornered Abby and tortured her instead of Nora to get the motive, which I think is not exactly what these folks are envisioning Or PERHAPS just Ellie not seeing Joel killed, but then she probably never tracks down Abby at all

Empathy is a longer journey away than just one conversation, anyway I mean come on, it's not like Abby doesn't *know* how much Joel meant to Ellie, it's not like she doesn't understand parent/child relationships, this "Oh gosh I never considered" kind of thing

It kind of comes off as the condescending thing you can do to try to generate empathy for literally anybody "But they had a family and friends, they had people who loved them" The people for whom this isn't true are few and far between (and don't map closely onto "bad guys")
