Okay, short and sweet. I've got some questions. ... And one comment, which is fuck that last trip. You think you're home free from whatever crap you've got back home, and then... bam. It's in your face. What's that about?

[ huff ]

Name's Ellie. I spent a lot of time reading back home and now that we're not in the trenches anymore, I need some reading material. Suggestions? The library's huge here and I don't even know where to start!

Uh... [ What else... She scrunches up her nose, thinking. ] Anyone up to teaching a kid to swim? Because that's something long overdue that I haven't gotten around to. And -

[ She looks a little more meekly at the camera, then glances away, chewing on the inside of her cheek. ]

There any way to get in touch with someone back home? Like... I dunno, a magic mirror so we can see they're okay? It's important. Thanks.

No cure.

[She frowns. That sounds all too familiar.]

It's a disease, then? Do you-- are you from someplace that's crawling with zombies, too?

[It's never been exactly clear to her during their previous encounters, but it seems like now is as good a time as any to ask.]

Fungus. I've never heard of it infecting people like that before.

[The very idea of it is disquieting, and her frown deepens as she tries to pull up a mental image of what it might do to people--

On the other hand, maybe it's best that she doesn't think about it too hard.]


So not zombies the way other people might know them, but it's similar. An outbreak. [Shit.] I'm sorry.

It's not my fault, or anyone's-- but I can still want better for you.

[Hell, for anyone. Nobody should have to live in that world, just like nobody should have to live in Sam and Simon's.]

I'm glad you're here, Ellie. For however long.
