[Joel and Ellie enter an abandoned medical facility]
Is this a FEDRA thing?
No. Army. They put these places up all around. First few days after the outbreak. Emergency medical camps. Obviously didn't last. They had me in one just like this.
With Sarah?
No, she was gone already.
Oh. So what was wrong with you?
[points to the scar on his head] It was for this.
Ah, the guy who shot and missed? I figure that would've happened later.
Nope. Second day.
Well, I gotta hand it to the army people, they were way better at stitching you up than I was...
It was me. [Ellie turns to look back at him] I was the guy who shot and missed.
[Ellie looks horrified. Joel takes the rifle off his back and perches on a concrete barrier. Ellie comes and sits beside him]
There's no story. Sarah died, and I couldn't see the point anymore. Simple as that. And I wasn't scared either. I was ready. I couldn't have been more ready. And when I... when I... [motions] went to pull the trigger, I flinched. Still don't know why. Anyway, the reason I'm telling you all this is -
I know why you're telling me all this.
Yeah, I reckon you do.
[beat]
So time heals all wounds, I guess?
[turns to look at her] It wasn't time that did it.
[Ellie looks at him, stunned, as she realises what he meant]
[tearfully] I'm glad that... that didn't work out.
Me too. [dries his eyes]
We should probably get going.
Yup.
