Ellie still chose to go do all this extremely heinous shit that you as the player as forced to act out after Joel's death and how should not only Ellie, but you, feel about it all. Okay, so basically, what was the point of it all. I didn't want to do any of this. I didn't want to kill and torture Nora with a pipe. I didn't want to drown Abby [...]. But none of that matters at the end of the day because this is Ellie's hollow and inconsistent story of violent actions and motivations, not mine. The game made that extremely crystal clear as frequently as possible.
"Oh, you did that? Why would you go do that?" Becasue the game told me to! It's not like I could just choose to hang out with the entity and watch static with him. I couldn't go back to sleep or hang out in Frankton, I could only go out the back! Even Alex's imaginary friends man, he can't get a fuckin' break.
