A goal was painted onto one of the brick walls in the playroom,
the paint slowly chipping away from old age.

Sam stood in the goal with a determined look on his face while you and Ellie passed the ball between each other until you kicked the ball towards the goal managing to get it to roll between Sam's legs scoring a point

"Yes! Nice One (Y/N)"
Ellie Congratulated you,
shaking your shoulders with a huge grin on her face

Causing your face to heat up again

"Thanks" you smiled
Tucking a loose strand of hair behind your ear,
'pass it back'
you then signed to Sam

The three of you continued to play soccer taking turns in goal,
meanwhile, Joel and Henry sat at a table watching as you all playfully fought for the ball, laughter echoing all around the room

You hugged your arms around Sam as he went for the ball spinning him around,
So Ellie could get to the ball,
she kicked it into the goal,
and you let Sam go As he continued to giggle

"Fuck yeah!" Ellie exclaimed, giving you a high five, before turning to Sam and patting him on the shoulder
"My turn in goal"

—----———————

"If you were collaboratin' to take care of him, I... I shouldn't have said what I said..I don't know your situation." Joel said,
as he sat with his arms crossed at a table with Henry,

"And I'm not sayin' they should let it go, but all things considered, seems kinda cruel to send a whole army after you for that."

Henry looked down at his hands that lay on his lap,
guilt clouding his features
"You know, I wasn't, uh, exactly telling you the truth before... about me not killing someone."
he breathed out

"There was a man, a great man. You know, he was never afraid... never selfish... and he was always forgiving. Have you ever met someone like that? Kinda man you'd follow anywhere...

I mean, I wanted to.
Well... I would've. Yeah, but, uh. Sam, he got sick. Leukemia. Yeah, anyway, there was one drug that worked, and whoa, big shock... there wasn't much left of it, and it belonged to FEDRA.

And if I wanted some it was gonna take something big. So, I gave them something big. That one great man.
The leader of the resistance movement in Kansas City. And Kathleen's brother."
Henry confessed,

Joel sat with this new information watching as Ellie played with you and Sam

"Yeah, so, you still think they should take it easy on me? Or am I the bad guy?

I don't know what you're waitin' on, man. The answer's easy. I am the bad guy because I did a bad guy thing."
Joel looked back at Henry

"But you get it, though, You might not be her father...
but you were someone's.
See, I could tell."

"Roooaaarrr!" Ellie yelled,
pretending to be a monster as she jumped out from behind a table and chased you and Sam around, laughing, Causing Joel and Henry to turn their attention towards the three of you

"We've waited long enough." Joel got up, quickly changing the subject, and began collecting up his things, gesturing for everyone to do the same.
