Ellie

After tracking Abby to Santa Barbara, Ellie is readying to finish the job that she started her journey for and get justice for what Abby did to Joel.

During her fight with Abby, she realizes that Joel didn't want any of this, and that he only wanted Ellie to grow up as a regular child, rather than become a part of the world's problem. Joel had already done enough killing during his time, and he did not want Ellie to be part of all the violence and bloodshed in their time.

Ellie lets Abby go, along with Lev, in a boat to return to her farmhouse after realizing that Dina already left her because of what she did. She ends by finding a way to live in peace amidst the world's pandemic.
