thinking of how marlene promised anna to take care of her newborn child because they were best friends and had known each other their entire lives, and then marlene dumped ellie in an orphanage, never reached out to her in her 14 years of living in the same city, chained her to a radiator for three weeks after she just lost her best friend and took her future from her whether she wanted to live it or not, tossed her to joel and tess who cared as little about her as marlene did, and then when she reunited with ellie again on the other side of the country after both of them had been through a horribly grueling journey, she didn't even really hesitate before agreeing to let her die without certainty that it would actually lead to a cure
and then she had the audacity to tell joel she âunderstandsâ. like full offence marlene idc if you were there when she was born, you never gave a shit about ellie until she had something you wanted
