Frankly, I think Dina never left. But I can't prove it. Instead, there is dialogue about her bad back that hints she may have indeed left the farm. There's also evidence that someone continued to live at the farm. The details point to Ellie. The details also say Dina and Ellie got back together. So if they got back together, and Ellie still lives at the farm, why didn't Dina come back?

For one thing, Ellie wanted space to "fix" herself before returning to Dina. For another thing, most separated married couples who start "seeing" each other again, kind of "date" before they go back to living together. But most importantly, Jesse's parents had been asking for more access to JJ which meant that "living together again" for Ellie and Dina means living in Jackson. Not back on their farm.

"The Devil is in the details", they say. In a Naughty Dog game, key exposition is found in exploring its environment, scenes, dialogue, and gameplay mechanics; because good writers 'Show, Don't Tell'.

Got questions about the TLOU2 story, narrative, and themes? I love sharing knowledge about professional writing, storytelling, and my favorite video game.

"The theme of Part 2 is Love... it's ending is more hopeful than people realize" (Neil Druckmann, 2020).
