Author's Note:
I've never played "The Last of Us" - it is rated an eighteen, unfortunately. But the idea of it fascinates me, and I devour cutscene movies and reviews as if I am starving and they are my food. I suppose, in a way, they ARE food: food for ideas. And what do these ideas grow into? Theories! (And yes, I DO watch Game Theory - just look at my "Link's Life Zelda Timeline")
If you have any theories, PM me! :-)
