After delivering her to the Fireflies, he is emotionally undone to discover that she will have to forfeit her life for the manufacture of a vaccine. But eventually he comes to love Ellie as a daughter. As it stands, Ellie is the only known person to have survived being bitten by “the infected.” From the beginning Joel tries to remain unattached to her to ward himself from potential suffering. They head out West to meet up with the Fireflies, a hard-pressed group of survivors living in the shadow of a collapsed society who hope to use Ellie to synthesize a vaccine to counter the plague that has turned most of the human population into flesh-chomping monstrosities. Joel is a middle-aged smuggler hired to transport Ellie, a young teenager, across the country. “The Last of Us” (2013) told the story of Joel and Ellie.
