A/N: I decided to skip the scene at the courtyard after Marlon's death so it can be up to what dialogue choices you want.
3rd Person POV
In The Dorms
AJ and Clementine are in their room. Clementine wakes up and gets out of bed. AJ is already awake. He brings a cup of coffee to Clementine.
AJ: Made you some coffee. It was in the kitchen. Tenn said that I could have some. I didn't steal it.
Clem takes the coffee cup and has a sip.
Clementine: I'm surprised you remember how to make it. We haven't had coffee in a long time.
AJ: You put it in hot water.
Clementine: You're right. Thanks.
AJ: Last night, with Marlon? I heard Louis, and...what he called me. Am I a murderer? Louis called me a murderer. But...but we're supposed to kill bad stuff. Monsters. Did I do it bad? I thought Marlon was bad. He killed Brody, he...he kept telling lies.
Clementine: Louis was right. Sometimes people do bad things, like Marlon did. But when you shot him, he wasn't a threat to us anymore. If you kill someone when they're no longer threatening you, that's murder.
AJ: What are we gonna do?
Clementine starts to get lost in thought after what happened the other night but AJ snaps her out of her thoughts.
AJ: Clem? If I'm a murderer, am I gonna die, too?
Clementine: What? No.
AJ: Well, I think murderers are like monsters, and... I know what happens to monsters. Nothing good. Nothing good at all.
Clementine: AJ, you're not a monster.
AJ: They think I am. I wish they didn't.
Clementine: We're going to fix this. You and me. I'm going to help you atone.
AJ: Atone?
Clementine: It means make up for what you did wrong. We'll make it all right with the others.
AJ looks down while thinking about something.
Clementine: Hey. What is it?
AJ: You've killed a lot of people. You murdered your friend Lee, didn't you?
Clementine: What?
AJ: You said he was handcuffed. He wasn't a threat. So that means you murdered him.
Clementine: I killed him because I loved him. I didn't want him to suffer.
AJ: How? He'd be dead.
Clementine: He would've turned. I didn't want that for him. He deserved better.
Clementine's Thoughts: I'm glad Y/N isn't here when he said that, he would've been mad.
AJ: I love you, Clem.
Clementine: I love you back.
Clem wraps her arm around AJ. They hear a knock at the door, and Tenn enters.
Tenn: Hey. Violet said to come get you for the funeral.
Clementine: Really?
Tenn: We used to have them more. Then we stopped. It seems right, though. I brought you something.
Tenn offers AJ a toy firefighter.
AJ: For me?
Tenn: I figured you'd be afraid, with everyone all upset. But you were brave last night. Like a firefighter.
