* While we never get any [[UncertainDoom confirmation either way]] all indications are that the Wolves and the Seraphites destroyed each other. While true, it may have been a case of EvilVersusEvil, that's still 2 whole pockets of humanity wiped off the map. Whatever the outcome of that last, terrible battle Abby and Lev decided to just pack up and leave rather than look for survivors. Which gives a pretty good indicator of just how dire the situation had become.

*** Tommy was introduced in 'The Last of Us' as refreshingly cheerful and relatively optimistic compared to his older brother Joel. Tommy was a man who regretted his violent past and sought to move forward, and believed deeply in rhe ability for humanity to move forward. In contrast, the end of this game leaves him as a shell of himself. His marriage with Maria is in shambles (presumably because he simply couldn't get past his obsession with killing Abby), he is physically disabled after being shot in the head, and his easygoing spirit has been replaced by a deep sense of bitterness.

** An easy-to-miss detail in Joel's house: by his bed there's a book called "Space for Dummies". After the reveal [[spoiler:that Ellie had just decided to try and forgive him and let him back into her life the previous day,]] Joel was reading up on space to have something to talk to her about the next time they met. As if you needed more reasons to cry...

** Ellie lifting a cup with an owl painting to look fondly at it might not make much sense at first, until you see [[spoiler:the ending flashback and realize it's the cup Joel was holding in their very last conversation.]]

** If you try to look in a mirror in Joel's house, Ellie will look down, refusing to look at herself. An incredibly minor detail most won't notice, [[FridgeBrilliance with its reason not being hinted at until the final flashback of the game...]], namely, that Ellie apparently [[spoiler:hates herself as much as she hates Abby for how she treated Joel for the last two years of his life. Even when living at the farm with Dina more than a year later (apart from when she plays with JJ) Ellie still won't look herself in the mirror.]]

* Abby sees Manny die in front of her, shot in the head by [[spoiler: Tommy]]. She barely escapes with her life and, once barricaded in a safe place, she has a small panic attack over the death of her friend, her face covered in his blood.

* A more minor example, to be sure, but during the Seattle segment, Ellie and Dina wind up in the remnants of what had once been an LGBTQ+ bookstore. Neither girl recognizes the symbolism of the pride flags decorating the store’s interior. Cordyceps managed to wipe away the history and symbolism of an entire community. It’s even more heartbreaking when you remember that both girls know the meaning behind the derogatory slur that Seth used earlier to refer to them, but don’t recognize the meaning behind the rainbow flag.
