“You’re alive,” Tommy breathes, repeating it twice. Each one hits like a blow. “She’s dead,” he counters, voice flat in counterpoint to the way it writhes in him like a snake, a painful, thrashing thing. It’s the first time he’s said it out loud. He can’t bear to repeat it. “No, no,” Tommy says in a rush, pulling back. “No, Joel. She’s here. She’s in Jackson.” Joel could almost laugh at the lie, well-intentioned but misplaced, which is his brother’s particular specialty. Tommy must have already read it on him, what Joel knows he’s going to do next. He’d sworn once to his brother that he would never do it again, never leave him behind. But a man can only break so much before he can’t withstand it anymore. (what if joel was just a few minutes too late to find ellie in silver lake?)
