how can I not cry at the end of the last of us

I feel like you would have seen it coming that it had a sad ending

doesn't the girl die or something?

the guy you play diyed at the end

When Riley died I died. And I died when Ellie told Joel about it. And I died when Joel chose Ellie's life, and therefore his sanity and happiness, over the entire world because ohmygod he's so broken.
