Theres a new slew of vicious, murderous characters, and none scarier than the rebel faction leader Kathleen.

As expected, they run into all sorts of traps and trouble in between.

Many took to Twitter to share their emotional journey starting with their love for Lynskeys role in the show.

One even wrote, Took pictures of melanie lynskey in the last of us like im at a concert.

While some missedBill and Frankfrom the episode prior.

While Joel is fighting off one of the Hunters, Ellie intervenes and shoots the attacker to save Joel.

Many found Ramseys performance commendable.

But it wasnt all sad.

Twitter also loved the moments when Ellie was happy and laughing with Joel after making ridiculously unfunny jokes.

Users also couldnt handle Joel-slash-Pascal laughing.

HES ACTUALLY LAUGHING OMGGGG, one user wrote.

User chrisdadeviant wrote, THEY DID THE MAGAZINE SCENE MY LIFE IS COMPLETE.

Well, thats apparently not the whole truth.

She wasnt alone when a zombie attacked her she was with her best friend, Riley.

Unfortunately, Riley wasnt immune like Ellie, and she had to be shot.

The first time viewers meet them, theyre pointing a gun at Ellies head while Joel is sound asleep.

Its a moment Twitter mercilessly memed.

Unfortunately, fans of the game know that these beloved characters have a grim fate.

And they took to Twitter to share their sense of foreboding.

Cue the tears, HBO.
