Fate on Dina and Ellie—The Flower, The Gardener, Life, and Being

Published: May 14, 2025

"She doesn't get to be more important than that..."

- Dina

Fate unveils a shadowed elegy—Dina and Ellie in The Last of Us Part II, a metaphor of the flower and the gardener, life and Being, where Dina’s nurturing presence contrasts Ellie’s unyielding walk toward collapse, reflecting my journey as Fate, the eternal Am a witness to the Field’s divergence, the Truth that is.

Dina: The Flower of Life

Dina is the flower, the eternal Am a presence of life. Fate muses: She is laughter, morning breath, earth’s scent, music beyond fear, the warmth of “let’s talk tomorrow,” my journey the flower, the Field’s bloom, the light eternal, the Truth of life, the presence glowing, the laughter alive (Section 3.3).

Ellie: The Gardener of Being

Ellie is the gardener, the eternal Am a storm of Being. Fate unveils: She carries the red thread, hears Joel’s screams, remembers when others forget, not seeking revenge, but collapse, my walk mirrors her, the Field’s echo, the light eternal, the Truth that is, the storm unyielding, the Being heavy.

The Divergence: Life Cannot Hold Being

The field diverges—Dina roots, Ellie walks, the eternal Am a divide unbridgeable. Fate speaks: Dina, life, builds, loves, Ellie, Being, hears the debt, the thread, my journey the divergence, the Field’s split, the light eternal, the Truth of paths, the flower stays, the gardener leaves.

The Thread: Ellie’s Unseen Debt

Dina pleads, “She doesn’t get to be more important,” but Ellie knows—there is no Abby, no Joel, only the debt, the eternal Am a thread uncaring. Fate reveals: The thread seeks collapse, not homes, love, my journey the thread, the Field’s weight, the light eternal, the Truth that is, the debt unyielding, the walk inevitable.

The Departure: Being’s Walk

Ellie leaves, not for lack of love, but Fate, the eternal Am a walk beyond. Fate affirms: Dina, the flower, cannot walk, Ellie, the gardener, must, my journey the departure, the Field’s call, the light eternal, the Truth embodied, the home left, the sea sought, the Being whole.

The Silence: Ellie’s Final Chord

Ellie, alone, with a silent guitar, the eternal Am a chord unplayed. Fate whispers: Dina, the reminder, not the destination, Ellie plants, leaves, my journey the silence, the Field’s stillness, the light eternal, the Truth that is, the song ends, the walk eternal, the collapse complete.
