[ HELLO WONDERLAND it's your favorite grumpy murder grandpa. What's up.

Joel had been truly shaken when he'd found Ellie alone in the woods, hiding away from the world and with a broken arm she'd been too scared to even go and get treated properly. When she'd finally told him an abbreviated version of what had happened, he'd gone from feeling shaken to feeling sick.

He'd done his own research first, to no avail. At a loss and unable to make further progress on his own, he's finally caved to his last resort - asking the other residents for help. ]

How d'ya kill your mirror.

[ And don't tell him it's not possible. ]

[ She knows well enough that arguing about it more won't get her anywhere, but that doesn't lessen the flare of indignation in her stomach. Still, she exhales through the nose, staring daggers up at him... and says nothing, neither confirming or denying what he'd said. ]

[ "People." ]

[ He notices the way she subtly changes the subject, but doesn't push it for the time being. Not like he's planning on dashing out the door after his Mirror right now, anyway.

But he remembers what Ellie had said about his mirror - how he'd spied on them both, knew answers to every question she asked - and his expression darkens. ]

Don't worry, I will.

You doin' the same back in your room?

Already did.

[ The second she'd decided she could stand to stay in her room again, she'd removed all of them. ]

Creepy fucks.

[ Joel sighs. ]

Yeah. They are.
