--Joel's shoulder.

That's what you see, because he's now blocking your view.

"Easy, now... you want somethin'? Let's talk."

Oh shit -- is there a--

"Riiight!" says a male voice (--yes there is! FUCK). "You'll just let me walk away with whatever I want, will ya?"

"Anythin' you want."

You know Joel has no such intentions; he's just hoping the dude will go for it, giving Joel an opportunity to make his move. You didn't hear a gun cocking, but the hunter must be pointing one at him -- otherwise, Joel would be kicking the guy's ass already.

My gun is RIGHT OVER THERE... maybe I can reach it...

"Yeahhh... see, I don't think so," the intruder scoffs.

The gun fires!

You scream as Joel falls on you, the protective barrier of his body now dead weight... you can't even process the horror you've just seen before--

You don't even hear the second shot fire.

If you could have realized what was happening, you probably would've thought something along the lines of "at least we died together."

Oof! That's really unexpected, time to read the second choice!

This ending sucks! But at least it was too quick to be sad really :)
