(Nah, it's the perfect response, completely removed from anything too sentimental. There's the sound of her running her hand over her face.)
He killed my dad. (There you go. Breathe.) My dad was the surgeon in charge of Ellie's operation. Joel stormed our base to get her back.
(And it wasn't just her dad who died at his hands. They were never a very large group, that Salt Lake outpost, and Abby knew everybody's names, they knew her- he killed Marlene, he shot her right through the fucking eye. Every other kill felt incidental but he took his time there, he made that one personal.) I found his body. He knifed him with his own fucking scalpel. (God, she feels numb. Every single time she says it, it doesn't go away.) So I killed him. I tracked him down, and I took my time. He deserved it.
(And she doesn't want Derrica's opinion on that, so she keeps going, swallowing. Staring at her crystal,) She was there when it happened. She saw me end it, and she came after me and my friends.

She got even. I'm the only one left.
