Grievances quickly forgotten, the two risk punishment from their superiors by sneaking into the dangerous city they call home. We soon learn that these two best friends had a falling out a month back, and while Ellie is going through training in a military school, Riley has joined the rebel Fireflies. Jokes aren't quite as funny when there are monsters lurking. Obviously terrified that an infected is eating her alive, Ellie tosses Riley to the ground before pulling a knife from beneath her pillow. Riley sneaks into Ellie's room before the sun rises, pouncing upon her sleeping body while mimicking a hissing neck bite. By examining Ellie's plight through the lens of such a bleak existence, we grow ever closer to her, and realize how devastating one's life in such a world would be. Don't expect this prequel to ignore the dark cloud that hovers ominously overhead, though. Left Behind presents this unique point of view through Ellie, the extraordinary heroine from The Last of Us, and it's hard to resist laughing along with her when her childlike nature is on full display. The psychological toll of burying your most basic desires must be exhausting. Everyone around them is obsessed with survival-which is certainly understandable-but every ounce of a teenager's instincts is pushing him or her toward goofing off.
Adolescents have it particularly tough in the zombie apocalypse.
