On the heels of the well-received gay romance depicted in a recent episode of The Last of Us, Bella Ramsey is looking forward to their own character’s upcoming lesbian storyline. The gender-fluid actor has said that they’re “really excited” to portray Ellie’s queer arc, which may kick off as early as the current season. The love story Ramsey is referring to comes from the video game’s 2020 sequel, The Last of Us: Part II. Five years after its predecessor’s events, the game starts with the aftermath of a kiss between Ellie and her longtime friend Dina. Just as the two are overcoming their awkwardness and settling into a budding romance, tragedy strikes, forcing them on a journey for revenge against a group of rival survivors in Seattle.
