[ 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. ]

[ He scoffs, a little disbelieving. ]

Y'got someone over there you can trust?

Uh, no. Definitely don't trust him, but he's kind of obsessed with me and I'm pretty sure he'd do it if I could feed him false information about the mirror or ask him to do it.

[ Which would come with a whole lotta strings, but she's already killed him once the last time he was able to cross over and had come after her. What's one more time? ]

[ Joel frowns. This sounds like trouble. ]

Obsessed with you.

[ Welp. ]

Yeah. But it's fine, I killed him the last time he came through the mirrors. [ She tries to say that with all the nonchalance she can muster. But, she's no Natasha. It still bugged her, even if he technically wasn't real. ] He still talks to me through the mirror and I know he's still watching me. So, if I can redirect that energy somewhere else, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

[ His expression of disapproval only deepens as he listens, and before she finishes talking, Joel's shaking his head. Too risky for everyone involved. ]

I don't want anyone else caught up in this.

I get it, but if you ever hit a point of desperation... There's an emergency option. [ It's not something she offered lightly, but Ray's mirror's obsession with her apparently hadn't dimmed after she'd killed him. She'd rather try and redirect his energy into something productive, but it was a huge risk considering he was basically a narcissistic monster. ]

Just let me know. I'm down in the coffee shop most days now, or on the 7th floor, room 27.
