For years, Joel has always had a feeling. A feeling that he wasn't alone. It often kept him up at night. Due to its infrequency and his lack of belief, he never thought anything of it. Until now.

Some books should just never be read.

Twenty more years have passed since Joel and Ellie have settled in at Jackson. All is well as they usher in another new unknown year. They don't know what this year will bring but for now there are no worries. So for now they raise their glasses, like it's the last time.

"Turns out, there's a whole lot more like you, Ellie." Joel said these words not knowing just how true they would turn out to be. An unexpected appearance reveals just how far that statement goes. A new beginning leads to new hope and a new mystery never seen or heard of before.

The eve of a New Year is a time of great joy for some. The happiness of leaving the old year behind and the excitement entering a new one. But for some it can be a time of reflection. The thorough dissection of what had happened in the past year and the curiosity of what the new year will bring.

It's Christmas time in Jackson and Joel and Ellie are determined to make the absolute best of it.

For the past couple of weeks, the nights have been rarely peaceful for Ellie. He still haunts her dreams even a year after the latter. Luckily Joel has a trick to help her have at least one silent night.

Sometimes the past just has a way of coming full circle.

Joel and Ellie add a little color to their lives

Joel lost at poker so now he has to play an old childhood classic with Ellie. Well, it's either that or singing.

Ellie is much too quiet for Joel's liking. So he decides to lighten up the mood, the best way he knows how.

A broken walkman leads to a day of fun and good old fashioned father/daughter bonding for Joel and Ellie.

We see the infected as mindless creatures with only one goal in their head. To kill and to spread. But we do forget that at one point, at least in their past, they were human. Maybe they still are.
