Please enjoy this in-depth analysis of this scene between Abby and Mel from The Last of Us Part II.
Written, recorded and edited by Jude (TLOU Explained).
This video was created for educational purposes only. This is my own interpretation of the scene based on multiple playthroughs and hundreds of gameplay hours, my experience as a writer/director, and listening to interviews with/commentary by the creators of the game.
