'In sickness and in health. Until death do us part...' There were times when the world seemed to be a ghastly place with horrors lurking around every corner and yet, within the very same breath it could also be a beautiful phenomenon. Set nine years after the events of 'Don't Let Go', Joel found himself resonating more with the latter in recent times... More than content with what he had built for himself in the later part of his life; a home that was safe, a wife that he loved, a kid he adored and Ellie of course... Still, life was but a delicate concept. Something so fragile and easy to lose as a mortal sentient being. He'd learned to navigate and survive what he once deemed to be the end of the world with precision and expertise but what should happen when fate has him losing all control over the situation? When the powers above decide to try and rip the centre of his universe away from him? Can he save her or will he be forced to watch her fade away?

Tiffany Walker has survived twenty years of hell - from the chaos of outbreak night in her small Pennsylvania hometown to the suffocating walls of the Boston QZ. Hardened, sharp-witted, and deeply loyal, she's a woman shaped by loss and betrayal, but still willing to risk everything for the people she loves. When a chance encounter leads her to Ellie - a mouthy, strange teenage girl who should have turned from a bite but didn't - Tiffany makes a choice that changes everything. Their bond becomes fast and fierce, forged in shared grief and a desire to protect what little good remains in the world. But protection comes at a cost. Tasked with smuggling Ellie west, Tiffany forms an uneasy alliance with Joel and Tess. Joel is everything Tiffany resents: guarded, gruff, and stubborn. But as their journey forces them through danger, heartbreak, and fleeting moments of peace, a fragile trust blossoms between them. Over time, that trust becomes something deeper - something neither of them thought they could ever have again. As the group battles clickers, soldiers, and their own haunted pasts, Tiffany's fierce devotion to Ellie and growing love for Joel push her to question the hardened walls she built. And when Jackson, Wyoming offers the safety she never dreamed of, Tiffany must face her greatest fear - not dying, but finally living.

Will Andrea be there for her this time? Or will she leave her and run again? Does she even have a reason to stay?" So in order to keep you hanging a little, I'm just going to say that this story is different from the game. But you're gonna find that one out on your own, won't you?
