What happened to you, it isn't fair, but what you're doing to her isn't fair either, and if anyone should understand what that feels like it's you. You have the power, you can do what you want to do. But for once, you can choose to use that power to do for Ellie what should have been done for you. You can choose letting her go. You can choose teaching her, yes, there are monsters and it's okay to be afraid of them, but it's not okay to let them win, and it's not okay to be one.
