    Summary

    Joel’s seat moves a bit, indicating that someone has sat down next to him. There’s no overtly offensive smells coming from them, so that’s a small blessing, but he doesn’t open his eyes. Please let them not be chatty, please let them just sit there for the next ten hours and leave him the fuck alone.

    The bus starts rolling from the station, the noise level cresting briefly and then dropping back down again, and Joel finally opens his eyes, chancing a glance over at the person sitting next to him.

    Scratch that – the kid sitting next to him.

    Joel takes her anyway.

    Summary

    The room is illuminated by a flash of lightning for a split second, and it’s enough for Joel to see that Ellie isn’t in her spot on top of flat cushions against the wall.

    “Shit,” he mutters, scrambling upright and unholstering his pistol. There’s a loud rumble of thunder again, and Joel spares a second to wonder if she’s the type of kid who gets scared by storms.

    Sarah had been like that, spring storms in Texas sending her scurrying to his room until she was at least ten. Even after that, when she’d stayed in her own room, he would go in to check on her and more often than not find her curled in a ball. He had never known why, since it wasn’t like they’d had particularly terrible storms when she was real little. She seemed to have been born with an innate fear of them, and no amount of reassurances or it's just angels bowling could make her relax.

    Summary

    As soon as she sees Joel within shooting distance, Ellie lets the gun in her hands fall to the ground. She pulls her knees to her chest, arms wrapped tightly around them, face buried in her arms.

    “What’s wrong?” he demands when he thinks she’ll be able to hear him.

    She doesn’t look at him or respond other than to hold out her right hand.

    It twitches.

    Fuck.
