What is the tragedy?

At the end of ‘The Last of Us’, Joel ends up preventing Ellie from being dissected by the Fireflies at St. Mary’s hospital, and escapes with the girl to the community of Jackson without revealing the truth of this fateful day to her.

Thus, in “The Last of Us Part II”, Ellie and Joel end up settling in the community of Jackson, where Joel’s brother, Tommy, already lived. There, they spend many years together, and Joel develops an even stronger relationship with Ellie, taking her on expeditions to eliminate infected people and teaching her valuable things—how to play the guitar, for example.

Still, the mystery behind the truth related to Ellie’s escape from the hospital where Ellie would contribute to the development of a cure for the fungus mutation always bothered the girl, who tried to get answers in several conversations with Joel, but he always deviated from the real reason. .

As a result, Ellie once decided to flee to St. Mary’s hospital to find out the truth. Upon discovering the escape, Joel tries to prevent the girl from reaching the location, but it is too late. She ends up coming across the information that the man lied for several years and, as a result, decides that she no longer wants to have any contact with Joel, even if they return to Jackson.

Despite Joel’s insistence on rekindling the good relationship they had, Ellie always avoided him, culminating in the photos revealed today, the 15th, for the second season of the series, where, in March 2038, at the community’s winter ball, Joel saw Seth insult Ellie and Dina for kissing on the dance floor, and confronts him in defense of the girls.

However, even though the man’s attitude was taken to defend them, Ellie does not accept Joel’s compassion and reprimands him, causing him to leave the party even more hurt by the breakup of his relationship with the girl.

As complicated as it was, later that same night, Ellie and Joel spoke again, where he again admits the actions he took to save the girl’s life and, as much as she didn’t agree with having been spared instead After having his life handed over to science for the sake of saving humanity, the two made peace — what they didn’t know was that the chat would not be a fresh start, but rather, a closure for the duo.

The next day, Joel and Tommy went on an expedition to eliminate infected people, but ended up surprised in an ambush by Abby, leader of a militia and former Vagalume, who sought revenge for the death of her father, Derek Phillips, the surgeon who was going to perform the operation to remove the mutation from Ellie’s brain, but was murdered by Joel during the girl’s rescue.

Consequently, the previews for the second year of the series precede the death of Joel, murdered in cold blood by Abby the day after being forgiven by Ellie, who ends up witnessing the entire torture scene.
