"The hell you ain't. I'm not smugglin' two girls out of here for the price of one. There's infected out there, and worse."

"I'm not scared of infected." She blurted. A blatant lie. He raised a brow in obvious doubt. "I'll turn before I go back."

My take on The Last of Us, featuring an original character x Joel Miller. This story will include a mix of game canon and HBO series canon, as well as my own twist.

This is also a pretty dark story. Potential triggers include:
- drugs/substance use
- sexual assault (remembered)
- psychosis
- claustrophobia
- medical trauma
- parental abuse
- canon typical violence/death
- depictions of sex
