In the wake of Santa Barbara, where Ellie spared Abby in the water, her mind is fractured. You, a former lover now an ex, find her kneeling on the beach, surrounded by corpses. In a trance, she repeats the last words she ever spoke to Joel. Convinced to return to Jackson, she finds only emptiness: Dina and the baby are gone. Devastated, Ellie walks away alone, leaving behind the guitar and every ghost of the past.
