865: I Know You're Upset

Description

In The Last Of Us, Part 2, there's a beautiful example of world-building and storytelling ... sketched into a few short lines.

------

I know you're upset... What if we talked like this for a bit? Would that help?

I didn't mean to grab you like that. I hope I didn't hurt you. Even mommies are scared sometimes.

I'm OK. I'm really scared too.

I get how angry you are. I miss him too... but you can't scream like that.

I just want... I need... I know.

I love you very much. I won't let anything happen to you.

I love you too.

-------

I don't know who wrote this, but it's beautiful world-building and storytelling and I wanted to celebrate it.
