Along the way Riley finally explains why she brought Ellie to the mall.
Lakeside ResortLakeside Resort jumps to winter and puts you in control of Ellie near Silver Lake, Colorado, hunting with a bow and searching for medicine. She runs into two strangers, David and James, and for part of the second half the game switches you back to Joel.

Story link
This is the book Ellie reads aloud from in the Pittsburgh chapter, trading groan-worthy puns with Joel. Left Behind shows where it came from: a gift from Riley in the Boston mall, which makes it one of the few things Ellie carries that ties straight back to her best friend.
The blurb
In Left Behind the back cover pitches the book as a short, sharp pun collection that might make you laugh or roll your eyes, with a joking disclaimer about cracked ribs.
