On the afternoon of March 16, 2023, the "Global Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Market Development and Trends" online seminar, hosted by EnergyTrend, the new energy research center of TrendForce, was successfully concluded! The conference received strong support from outstanding companies in the industry such as Tongwei Solar, Jolywood, and SYL Battery(SYL) of Risen Group. Several business elites and industry analysts discussed topics such as forecasts on global PV and energy storage market installation, industry prices, supply and demand, and new technology developments, to deeply explore the industry's potential and provide forward-looking planning and thinking for companies in various links of the industry chain. The online seminar was well-received and generated enthusiastic feedback.
At the beginning, Sara Fan, the General Manager of TrendForce, made an opening speech, to show her sincere greeting and gratitude to all the attendees, and expressing her best wishes for the development of the pv and energy storage industries. Following that, representatives of business elites and TrendForce analysts delivered splendid speeches successively.
TrendForce: Polyslicon prices are declining, and overseas production capacity for modules is accelerating expansion.
Faye Wang, the Market Director of New Energy Research Center of TrendForce, shared the trend of each links of the global PV industry in 2023. TrendForce predicts that in 2023, in the main industry chain, the supply of polysilicon is very sufficient and will gradually enter the surplus stage. In terms of silicon wafers, wafers will continue to develop toward large sizes, thinning and N-type in 2023. But affected by the tight supply of high-purity quartz sands for crucibles,the actual output will be limited.
In terms of solar cells, in the second half of 2022, the production capacity newly built mainly depended on new technologies. However, the production capacity of new technologies will be mainly released intensively in the second half of 2023. So in the first half of 2023, large-sized PERC cells will still show a tight-supply trend. In terms of modules, global module capacity will reach 853 GW by the end of 2023.
Chart: Global demand for PV installed capacity in 2023 will be 330 GW - 350 GW
​
https://preview.redd.it/6b7emo76n1pa1.png?width=1270&format=png&auto=webp&s=7e1b6318693970cacd55302d130fd0afe1a34ae1
In terms of auxiliary materials, the shortage of PV-level EVA particles will continue. POE particles are highly dependent on overseas imports. While with the accelerated capacity release of N-type products in the second half of the year, the demand for POE particles will gradually increase and the shortage situation will be worse. But it can’t be ignored that stimulated by high prices, the actual output of each link has a certain upward elasticity. Judging from the actual output in the industry chain, TrendForce estimate the global demand for PV installed capacity in 2023 will be 330 GW - 350 GW.
Tongwei Solar: Innovatively adopted the “H + S” technology to create full-black bifacial module with“small body but big energy”
At present, the development of N-type components has seen an accelerated period, and the product share continues to grow. Aran Huang, Shingled Sales Department Product Manager of Tongwei Solar, introduced that Tongwei responds to market demand to create Terra N module, the full-black bifacial module with “small body but big energy”. Terra N module has advantages such as lower degradation, optimized temperature coefficient, higher bifacial rate, high power and high efficiency for the applications of the high-end distributed market.

Innovation is the first driving force leading the development of enterprises. Tongwei has innovatively adopted the “H + S” technology which means to combine the “Half-cut” cell with the “Shingled” encapsulation to create delicate small-version modules with high power and efficiency. So it can meet application requirements in multiple scenarios. Compared with P-type modules, Terra N modules have a smaller size, higher power and an increased efficiency of about 1.2%. Moreover, their transportation cost, BOS cost, and LCOE all decrease a lot, so the yield rate are improved effectively.
Jolywood: mesh transparent backsheet single-glass bifacial module has 1.29% higher average power generation than double-glass modules.
Now, module technologies are gradually moving towards large size, bifacial, and higher efficiency, and the market share of bifacial modules continues to increase. For bifacial modules, Jolywood launched a series of transparent backsheet with higher power and reliability. Compared with double-glass modules, mesh transparent backsheet single-glass bifacial modules are significantly lighter by about 20%, which will lead to lower costs of transportation and installation.
Chart: according to the data, the transparent backsheet module has a higher power gain than double-sided modules.
​

According to the power generation data, for the same material and the same area, when mesh transparent backsheet modules are compared with double-glass modules, their average power generation is 1.29% higher, leading to more revenue. This means that, for a 1GW power station, after 30-year operation, transparent backsheet modules will lead to around 183 million yuan revenues. In addition to common transparent backsheet type white mesh modules, Jolywood team worked with module factories to develop transparent backsheet type with black mesh. This is more popular in high-end markets, such as Europe, America, Japan, etc.
TrendForce: TOPCon will be prioritized for large-scale mass production and the module power will fully reach above 600W.
In 2022, China's photovoltaic industry continued to make great strides, with new technologies such as large sizes, HJT, and TOPCon further developing, driving the improvement of innovation capabilities in the PV industry. April Zou, an analyst from TrendForce, shared the development and trend in market of advanced PV technologies in 2023, mainly analyzing the development and trend of advanced technologies in various links of the industry chain. In terms of wafers, N-type wafers have a price premium of about 6%. At present, the overall output of N-type wafers is still low without scale effect for the time being. With the mass production of TOPCon cells, it’s estimated that in 2023, the proportion of N-type wafers will rise to approximately 17%.

In terms of cells, technologies for N-type cells are in full bloom,and TOPCon occupies the mainstream position. The cost of HJT per watt is high. This is still the main factor restricting its capacity expansion. In the future, cost reduction and efficiency increase will still be the key to its large-scale expansion of production capacity. In 2023, the expansion of domestic XBC technology will mainly depend on the large-scale production expansion of leading enterprises. In terms of module technical routes, TOPCon will be prioritized for large-scale mass production and the module power will fully reach above 600 W. TOPCon technology has entered the bonus period of the promotion. So N-type TOPCon modules is expected to achieve a higher premium at home and abroad.

An IPC is a ruggedized and enhanced personal computer that can operate reliably as an industrial controller in an industrial environment. A computer generally refers to a computer, a modern electronic computing machine used for high-speed calculations, which can perform numerical calculations and logical calculations, and also has storage and memory functions.
Both industrial controllers and computers belong to computers, and the main structure is composed of CPU, memory, and storage. However, because of the different fields of use, the design of each is very different. The computer is mainly used for office and entertainment, industrial control machine is mainly used for industrial control, their differences are mainly as follows.
https://preview.redd.it/re4w95prm1pa1.png?width=1216&format=png&auto=webp&s=8a60a8e6c2660f0fe3a474d610a2236ebd87d767

1, Industrial Control Machine And Computer Appearance Is Different

The appearance of the computer is the pursuit of beautiful, easy-to-place. Therefore, the appearance of ordinary computers is basically vertical chassis, the chassis is usually equipped with only a power supply cooling fan, CPU and graphics card will be equipped with an internal cooling fan.
Industrial control machine because it is used for industrial control, will face a variety of harsh environments. In order to prevent electromagnetic interference, industrial control machine chassis are used in line with the “EIA” standard all-tempered industrial chassis to enhance the ability to resist electromagnetic interference. In order to prevent dust, the chassis generally uses positive pressure convection exhaust, installed with two fans, and installed in the air outlet with a dust filter. In order to resist vibration, industrial control machines are bus structures and modular design.

2, Industrial Control Machine And Computer Structure Is Different

The computer uses the CPU, memory, disk, and graphics card installed directly on the motherboard. The communication between the components is more efficient. At the same time, in order to better meet the needs of entertainment and office, the performance of computer configuration is generally higher.
The IPC uses a bus structure and modular design. It has a passive motherboard and the components are modular motherboards. the CPU motherboard must be plugged into a dedicated slot in the passive motherboard. Other modular expansion boards are inserted into the expansion slots of the passive motherboard. The resistors, capacitors, and inductors on each module are designed with stronger anti-interference capability.

3, The Industrial Control Machine And Computer Scalability Are Different

Computer scalability all depends on the motherboard reserved interface, generally up to 2-4 memory slots, 2-5 hard disk interface, and 2-4 PCIE slots. Industrial control requires a variety of interfaces, so the passive motherboard of the industrial control machine on the slot is very much, up to 20 expansion of the board.

4, Industrial Control Machine And Computer Software Environment Is Different

The computer is basically equipped with the latest windows operating system, of course, Apple computers are generally equipped with Mac OS. The software basically comes standard with office suites, video, social, games, and other software.
Most industrial control machine is also equipped with the windows operating system, but in order to adapt to industrial control software, often equipped with older windows. software, because the industrial control machine is dedicated to the field of industrial control, so, is the installation of special industrial control software.

\"Endure and survive.\"
Welcome back, everybody, to the third posting in my rewrite of Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Part II. A rewrite in which I reframe the cycle-of-revenge narrative into a story about redemption and the search for hope in the post-outbreak world.
Fallen a little behind in this one, I admit, between the release of the TV series and general life events. And I gotta say, the show definitely lived up to expectations.
Here, we pick up after the devastating events of the third chapter.
The first couple of posts, as a refresher

• Part 1 (Characters, themes and prologue)
• Part 2 (Chapters 1-3)

Some notes, also, before we proceed
1: As there ended up being a lot more story than I initially expected, I'm again expanding the rewrite, this time to four posts.
2: Following some feedback after the last post, there's a couple amendments I'd make to Chapter 3.

• FEDRA's attack on the settlement of Jackson not only results in the death of one of its leaders, Tommy Miller, but the fall of the settlement itself. Forcing the populace to flee.
• FEDRA's commander, Colonel Lee, attempts to take Ellie Williams as she is still the key to development of a possible cure to the Cordyceps infection. But the counterattack by the WLF interrupts, and Ellie gets away.
• Gonna try and keep the changes in perspective as limited as possible, while still allowing all sides to be shown.

3: An expansion on FEDRA as a faction, and its leader as well.

• FEDRA soldiers each carry a manifesto espousing the survival of the strong, the protection of the weak, and the destruction of the unholy and corrupt.
  • Said manifesto is written by Colonel Lee.
  • Would likely be an Easter egg collected in-game.
• FEDRA forces are the only enemies in-game that don't surrender or beg for their lives, being committed to fighting until they literally drop dead.

4: A few plot elements featured in the canon of the HBO series will be featured here, both in characters and background lore.
With all that out of the way, let's begin!
****
CHAPTER 4
THE JOURNEY
Ellie
Three days after the fall of Jackson, whoever wasn't captured or killed in the attack are on the road. Jackson's people are scared, confused, almost aimless.
Joel in particular is talking to no one, merely trailing the refugees. Keeping an eye out for signs of danger.

• As before, there's a general sense between himself, Maria and Ellie that what's happened is (in the long run) his fault.

Maria is doing her best to keep people's hope alive, but it's clear to Ellie that she's at the end of her rope. And unless the refugees can reach their WLF allies out west in time, they'll have nowhere to go.
Ellie herself is shaken not just by Tommy's death, but the capture of Dina. But after a talk with Maria and Jesse, she decides she's not going to sit around and wait for a rescue to be planned. She's going to take the initiative herself and get Dina back.

• As one of Ellie's core struggles/traits in this installment is survivor's guilt, it's pointed out to Ellie that she's not thinking this through, that she's in over her head. But she doesn't care.
• It's implied Ellie might give herself up if necessary.

Packing guns and supplies, Ellie takes off on her horse Shimmer. It's not long before she reaches a largely deserted town, manned by FEDRA personnel.
She dispatches several of them, but one almost escapes and sounds an alert. Soon an armored patrol moves in, and Ellie is almost caught before she's helped by the surprise appearance of Joel.
Who makes it clear he's not letting her do this alone.
Jesse shows up as well, saying they're going to rescue their friends together. Ellie guesses Joel is more concerned with revenge against Abby, but given their circumstances and what they're up against she can't afford to be picky.
The trio continue on their journey, with Joel and Ellie exchanging some cautious words.

• On Joel's end, he promises they'll save Dina.
• Despite lingering resentments, Ellie is sympathetic to Joel's loss and says she's sorry for what happened to Tommy.

At night, as the group approach the borders of the Washington territory, the trio make camp at night but soon find out they're not alone. The Seraphites have found them.
Abby
Back in Washington, Abby is reviewing the results of FEDRA's first strike against Jackson and the WLF.
Colonel Lee is disappointed at the escape of Ellie Williams and the rest, but sees those hostages taken as a valuable bargaining chip. And he anticipates Joel will come looking for revenge. Abby wants to go out and find him again, but Lee tells her she's done enough for now.
While Lee plans his next move against the WLF, Abby questions Dina, hoping to get answers on possible whereabouts of the Jackson survivors. Abby admits she regrets the prisoners' awful housing, and offers them better food and shelter in return for their help. In response, Dina tells her to go to hell. She doesn't know anything, and wouldn't tell Abby if she did.

• In their talk, Dina calls out the hypocrisy of Abby's actions. Saying that she's no better than Joel, having answered his past violence with violence in turn.
• The prisoner also asks Abby if she feels satisfied. If hurting Tommy for what Joel did made any difference.

Indeed, Abby is wholly unfulfilled. She tries to excuse it as Joel still escaping, but even robbing him of a loved one gave her no satisfaction.
As she sets out to patrol the border, Owen and his partner Mel question what she'll do now that Joel is sure to come for them all.

• The other Wolves make it clear they're afraid of FEDRA's expansion escalating into all-out war, with enemies on all sides. If it comes to that, they know not everyone will make it.
  • Abby shrugs off such concerns, as Lee has taught her, but has a moment of doubt upon remembering Mel's growing pregnancy.

Manny even expresses worry over Lee's intentions, citing rumors that the colonel took part in rather unsavory operations at the onset of the outbreak. He worries that the prisoners might not be shown any mercy.

• Hinting at a piece of lore featured in the HBO continuity, that being FEDRA carrying out massacres of civilians.

The accusation angers Abby, as she's grown so attached to the colonel as her new "father".

• Paralleling Ellie's early relationship with Joel, and following her dependence on the memory of her father as a purely good man.

A sighting of the Seraphites causes Lee to order an attack, which Abby spearheads, hoping to get her mind off of the argument. Owen and Manny accompany her, promising the others they'll help keep her head on straight.
In the wild, Abby hears more FEDRA personnel talking about the prisoners and what to do. Some wish to recruit them, or transfer them to heavily-monitored communities as to be assimilated into a restored civilization. Others, to Abby's disgust, would gladly kill all of their enemies. Especially the Seraphites.
Owen tries to assuage Abby's worry. Though he himself has questioned Lee at times, he hopes they can find some semblance of a peaceful, "normal" world when the fighting in Washington is done. Abby hopes so too, believing he and Mel will make great parents.

• Though she doesn't act on them here, Abby is heavily hinted at still having feelings for Owen long after their breakup.

Abby and her forces soon pick up their quarry's trail, and guess whatever group they're following is large in number.
Ellie
In the wild, the Seraphites detain Ellie's group. The stealthy organization easily bypass FEDRA patrols, escorting the trio to a shelter for questioning.
The local Seraphite authority, a woman named Emily, interrogates them. They insist they're only passing through to rescue hostages of FEDRA, and mean no trouble. Emily is skeptical, and Joel picks up quick that something has her on edge. Something more than just the usual skirmishes.

• The implication being that Emily has family in danger.
  • Joel, having been a parent, can tell.

Another Seraphite, named Nicholas, tells them that FEDRA is massing another armored force. One that will have the capability of wiping out their northwest enemies in a matter of months.
Ellie takes the initiative to offer them help. If the Seraphites get them to Seattle and rescue their friends, Ellie's group will help them decapitate FEDRA's leadership.

• Ellie's desire to help is motivated twofold, by her desperation to get Dina back and her lingering instinct to "fix" things however she can after the search for a cure to Cordyceps failed.

Nicholas agrees, with a doubtful Emily following suit. Their patrol take Ellie's group along, and they embark on a lengthy journey.
On the lengthy journey, Ellie obtains new equipment from the Seraphites as well as several lessons from Nicholas.

• A small but sturdy hatchet.
• New steel-tipped arrows.

In addition, the Jackson group learn more of the history of the Seraphites. That they were started as a confederation of the remnants of the Quileute people and a nondenominational Christian church which simply came to be known as "the Shelter". Nicholas himself is the grandson of one of the Seraphites' three Elders, a Quileute woman named Ramona.

• Here, the Seraphite's partially Quileute origin plays a part in both fleshing out the area of Washington in a post-apocalyptic world by including a local real-life people, and also further diversifying the cast of characters.

When the group are not far from Seattle, they take stock and Ellie catches Joel observing her weapons. Annoyed, she tells him they're fine, but he points out her bow needs restringing. Sure enough, Ellie sees he is right, and grudgingly thanks him.
As night falls again, Ellie readies her repaired bow and notes that Joel hasn't slept in almost a day. She suggests he get some rest, promising to keep watch.
While Ellie keeps watch, she has a conversation with Emily. The Seraphite remains closed off, with Ellie noting something in her similar to Joel.
Sure enough, Emily says she has two children traveling with another group. She wants to reconnect as soon as possible, with the news of FEDRA mobilizing their final campaign in Washington. Emily says she objected to her children, a boy and a girl, going off without her. Even fought with them over it.
Ellie doesn't say anything, but Emily's words strike a chord with her.
A day later, the joint party arrive in WLF-controlled territory and come face to face with Isaac Dixon. Acting commander of the paramilitary, and chief opposition to Colonel Lee's occupation.

• Isaac here is a calculating and ruthless leader, but unlike the original game is not a genocidal lunatic.
  • Though he does have some distaste for the Seraphites as a group, mainly their isolated lifestyle and spirituality.

Isaac invites them to his headquarters to discuss their plans against Lee. Ellie is wary of his attitude, however, as well as a suspicious map outlining a series of tunnels beneath Seattle.
What he calls the "Black Zone".
But things hit a snag when Emily receives a transmission on a portable radio. The voice of a frightened teenager comes in, and Emily panics. It's her son.
Ellie, Joel and Jesse tense up when they hear another voice in the background of the call.
Abby.
CHAPTER 5
THE HORDES
Abby
After a lengthy period, Abby's team have pushed the nearest Seraphite hunting party into an entrenched position.
They work together to trap the party, but in the final firefight Manny is shot dead and a grieving Abby is distracted long enough to suffer a knockout hit from a Seraphite.
She wakes strung up, in the woods, at the mercy of the lead hunter Ferris.

• A remix of the "first reveal" of her character.

Ferris and five other hunters are all that's left of their party, with FEDRA already closing in. Abby warns him to let her go, telling him he has one chance to end this. The vengeful hunter rages against Abby, calling her people butchers who carry the sins of the old world. FEDRA, he says, seeks to rebuild a world that put men like Lee in positions of power, power they abused when it mattered most.
Just as they're abusing it now, moving to forcibly "tame" the new world rather than try to adapt to it.

• Character commentary on FEDRA as an autocratic power that took many lives unnecessarily in the backstory of TLOU.
• Also playing on themes of colonialism, what with FEDRA repeating the mistakes of America's past.

Ferris almost has Abby executed before he's distracted by a teenage boy objecting to the deed. The momentary distraction allows Abby to slip free and take Ferris's weapon, wounding him. Abby runs, holding off the other hunters before Owen comes in for the rescue.
Still angered over Manny's death, Abby chases Ferris into his shelter and corners him. But to her surprise, not only is the young boy still with him but also a girl roughly two years older. Also present is an elderly man, a nurse, and several young children. The boy is on a radio, calling in to someone called "Emily".
Keeping them all at gunpoint, Abby yells at the boy to put the radio down but is clearly not willing to shoot. Ferris, dying of his wounds, tries one last time to attack her before he's gunned down by a FEDRA soldier.
The children are taken into custody, and the radio taken way. On the other end, Abby hears a woman frantically calling for the boy, Lev. But after Abby takes the radio, barking orders at the others, the other end falls silent...
Until Joel picks it up.
The older man threatens Abby, telling her anything she does to the children will be answered. A hateful Abby curses at him, saying he has no right to judge her. She tells Joel he'll pay for what he did to her father, Jerry, and what she started with Tommy she'll finish with him.
Joel baits her not to wait, and instead come looking for him and Ellie. Taunting her with the hope she puts up a better fight than her father, a man who was strong enough to hurt children but folded when he faced a man. Abby angrily throws the radio away, doing her best to hide her angry tears at just hearing Joel's voice.

• The extended dialogue emphasizes the ugly cycle of revenge and the part both Abby and Joel play in it.
  • Especially as players in what's becoming open war.

FEDRA takes the Seraphite prisoners to an outpost, with Abby keeping an eye on the brother and sister. Their path to the outpost is delayed by sightings of Infected, and more than once she has to pick them off to protect the group.
Upon their arrival, the prisoners are processed and Abby learns the boy is in fact transgender. Danny, a FEDRA sergeant, immediately begins mistreating him until Abby gets him to back off.
Abby takes charge of the siblings and escorts them to a cell, before questioning them. Their names are established as Yara, the sister, and Lev, the brother. The sister, Yara, warns Abby that their mother will come for them.
Abby falls back on her training and FEDRA's official policy, telling Yara her people picked this fight by not answering Lee's peaceful overtures.
Lev finally speaks up, saying Lee's terms would see the Seraphites completely assimilated by the occupation and abandon the way of life that's kept them going for decades. He asks Abby what she thinks will become of them should Lee win, and they don't surrender.

• More historical parallels.

Abby doesn't have a retort save that Colonel Lee knows what's best for them all.

• Again displaying Abby's dependence on a father figure in absence of Jerry Anderson.
• Contrasted against Ellie's estrangement with Joel.

She leaves, and is bothered by Danny. He mocks her soft approach with the "Scars" as some in FEDRA call them. Abby has no patience for his bullying and warns him to stay away from the siblings. No matter who they are, where they come from, they're still just kids.
Abby later dines alone, brewing in her continued frustration with recent events and grief for losing a good friend in Manny. Owen joins her, knowing her well enough to see how much she's still hurting.
The two engage in an increasingly tense talk on what's happened lately. Their conversation reaches a head when Owen asks, point blank, if Abby really would have cared for the cause if Lee hadn't offered her a chance at revenge. More than that, Owen asks if Jerry would have wanted Abby to walk the path she has. Separating mothers from their children, torturing and killing men just for their brother's sins, etc.
Abby shuts down, not wanting to hear anymore, and secludes herself.

• Abby, by this point in the story, is starting to resemble Part I's Joel in that she's becoming an empty, angry shell of a woman who goes through the motions and excuses what she does with simple buzzwords.
  • For Joel it was "survival", for Abby it's words like "justice" and "the cause".

Abby calls Lee, who tries to comfort her in his gruff, stoic way. But then their conversation ends as it often does. With him asking if she is committed. She says yes, but this time she doesn't sound committed.
Just angry, and hurt. And tired.
But, as she continues to brood, Abby thinks about what Joel said about her father. That he was bent on murdering a child. She thinks back to the Fireflies' planned operation on Ellie, remembering there's a good deal she didn't know.
A good deal she's never asked Lee.
Ellie
Back with the WLF, Isaac confers with his guests as to his plan against Colonel Lee.
For weeks, the WLF has been stockpiling any weapons available as to commit to a strike against the heart of the FEDRA occupation. But, as Emily and Nicholas point out, even if they pool all available resources they're still outnumbered and outgunned.
Isaac reveals his trump card. The Black Zone, the abandoned areas beneath Seattle, have become home to a nest of Infected numbering in the hundreds. And not just the typical variants, but mutated ones as well. Including an "alpha" variant called the Rat King.

• Another plot/lore thread lifted from the HBO continuity, this time set in Seattle instead of Kansas City.
• The Rat King's reputation as a dreaded, implacable monster is laid out as to foreshadow an absolutely terrifying encounter.

Isaac plans to unleash the Infected into key locations in Seattle, sending FEDRA into chaos before bombing said sites. Lee himself will be the primary target of Isaac's elite forces. Ellie and Jesse grimly note the city will be devastated, but Isaac views it as an acceptable loss. One that can be recovered in time.
Joel asks just how Isaac is willing to go if it means beating Lee. Finally, the Jackson party learn just the kind of man they're dealing with. The full scope of what they face.

• As hinted at earlier, Lee is confirmed to have been one of many officers who took part in mass exterminations during the early Cordyceps outbreak. He and many others like him shipped off scores of civilians to be murdered, then dumped into mass graves, as a means of fighting the infection.
• Lee ascended to his command when his superiors were killed by a revolution in Kansas City, Missouri.
  • Before moving west, Lee brought a counterattack down on Kansas City and wiped out the resistance. Down to the last child.

The members of the local Washington resistance understand Lee isn't a man who can be reasoned or negotiated with, not now. There's only one way to stop him. Kill him.
The Jackson party warily agree.

• Joel is the most eager, still gunning for payback for Tommy.

For a while, they help the tentatively-allied WLF and Seraphites corral several smaller hordes of Infected towards the tunnels that will lead beneath Seattle.

• Ellie hides her immunity from all present, wearing a mask in spore-heavy areas while avoiding any bites or scratches from hostile Infected.

The mission almost goes wrong when a rogue bloater attacks Joel's team. Ellie intervenes despite Joel's protests, hacking the monster to death with her hatchet.
Joel scolds her, telling Ellie he had it under control. Ellie fires back, but before they can get at each other's throats yet again Jesse chews them both out for getting so distracted. Jesse reminds them why they're really here, and that their friends won't ever see home again if Joel and Ellie can't spend more than a few minutes together without fighting.

• Usually the level head, Jesse by now is exhausted and just wants it all to be over, as opposed to the more hardened Joel and Ellie.

Ellie apologizes to Jesse alone. But, once he notices they're alone, he brings up another reason he was upset. He saw a scratch on her left forearm, which she'd missed in her fight with Joel.
Caught red-handed, Ellie hems and haws before confessing to Jesse that she's immune. Jesse is shocked, wondering how many others knew. Ellie tells him only Maria and Joel know, as did Tommy.

• Jesse is, naturally, hurt that Ellie didn't tell him or Dina.

Ellie starts to crack under the stress of everything that's happening, and tells Jesse that five years ago she had a chance to help the Fireflies find a cure for the Cordyceps infection but failed. Whether or not it's true, a part of her feels all of this is on her shoulders, because Joel couldn't help her finish what they'd started.
Ellie says Tommy encouraged her right until the end not to close herself off to others, even Joel. But it's been so hard. Jesse asks if there's anything he can do to help. Ellie says no, and her friend quietly leaves.
Rummaging mindlessly through her things, Ellie takes a moment to think back and finally reminisce on the day she broke with Joel.
****
A final flashback details the falling out, four years after the events of Part I*.*

• As in the game, Ellie digs and scavenges what she can until she's certain she has to confront Joel.
• Joel finds her, and she puts forward her ultimatum that he either tell her the truth now or she's gone forever.

Joel, after a lengthy hesitation, tells Ellie that the Fireflies were on the verge of a cure. That while their history of failed tests was true, they hadn't given up and were ready to experiment on Ellie, at the cost of her life.

• Here, however, Joel includes that he objected and told Marlene to stop it. Ellie asks what happened next, to which he firmly and coldly says Marlene's answer was "no", leaving Ellie to guess the rest.

Ellie breaks down, and when Joel tries to talk to her she screams at him. Ellie calls him a murderer, which Joel deflects and retorts Marlene was the real murderer. All he did was save Ellie.

• Here, the truth coming out results not just in broken trust but the kind of bitter, emotionally-fraught argument only estranged parents and children can have.
  • Joel digs his heels in and excuses what he did. Calling out how the Fireflies abused Ellie's trust as much as him. And that even Marlene didn't care enough about her old friend Anna's memory to spare the life of her daughter.
  • After all this time Ellie doesn't want to hear it, and when Joel goes so far as to even insult the Fireflies he killed (Marlene included) she slaps him across the face.

Ellie storms off, yelling at Joel that he destroyed everything. All they'd fought for, all she suffered for, it's all gone.
And Joel, for once, has nothing to say.
****
In the present, Ellie is still weeping alone. Still brewing in resentment and helpless anger.
But then she looks down at her wrist, and the bracelet Dina gave her before the attack on Jackson. She clutches onto it tightly, and tries to tell herself it's not all gone. It can't be.
Pushing past her tears, Ellie reaches deep into a larger pack she kept hidden from the rest of the party. She pulls out a guitar, the same guitar Joel gave to her as a gift. Taking her mind off the fear and worry of the mission for just a little while, Ellie starts to play.

• The opening lines and first chorus of 'True Faith'.

When she's done, a calmed Ellie senses she's being watched. She puts the guitar down and turns to face Joel, who's standing nearby. The old man looks more vulnerable than Ellie has ever seen him.

• Ellie asks if he's surprised she still has the gift, to which Joel admits he thought she'd gotten rid of it.

Taking Jesse's advice to heart, and reciting Tommy's advice on hate, Ellie asks if she and Joel can go somewhere private.
She and Joel take their horses to a secluded clearing, and the two set up camp. Joel sits down, waiting for Ellie to join him.
And join him she does, knowing it's time they settled things at last.
****
That does it for this section. As I said before, this ended up running pretty long, thus necessitating I split up the rewrite just once more.
Hope you enjoyed it. And if you still haven't checked out the HBO series, I more than recommend it.
This weekend, I'm finally going to return to a long-delayed post on a rework of of DC Comics television. This time, a rework of the age-old Batman/Superman tale.
See you then!
