The zombies are on her in an instant, and she screams for her best friend, Riley. She drops with it, hitting the ground hard enough to knock the air from her lungs. She’s sprinting to escape the infected runners on her heels, but the scaffolding she’s climbed isn’t stable enough to support her weight the structure leans, then tumbles. There’s a point at which, in the 2014 PlayStation game expansion The Last of Us: Left Behind, 14-year-old Ellie Williams takes a fall. Spoilers ahead for episode 7 of The Last of Us.
