While it's true that these conflicting motivations due lead to a satisfying story, the conflict with Ellie never seems to be internal, but is instead displayed externally through the characters that bicker and fight around her. The pregnancy arc paralleled with Mel causes Ellie to doubt her quest for revenge thanks to the connection to Dina's own similar situation, which then gets retroactively attached to Abby as she is happy to kill the pregnant woman. This whole concept of consequences in The Last of Us 2, attempting to break the ludonarrative dissonance by implying that every NPC killed in the game is a named character with a full backstory, is most clear with Dina. Though the development team quickly felt that Johnson fit the role of Ellie, they spent more time selecting the actor of Joel, as the chemistry between the two. In fact, the ending seems to imply that if it weren't for Dina and JJ, Ellie would have had no hesitation for heading out to Santa Barbara to finish the fight for good. However, many of these moments don't quite seem to come from her organically, instead being projected on her by Dina, who by the end moves from joining the hunt for Abby to attempting to call Ellie off. Even though the trailer doesnt do much to address the plot details or elements contained in the leaks, you should still see this trailer to renew your excitement for The Last of Us Part 2. There are moments in The Last of Us 2's narrative where Ellie seems to show some level of reluctance or regret for what she's doing to the Wolves, many of which are innocent in the killing of Joel. Naughty Dogs dedication to quality does shine through in the trailer, with very impressive graphics and gameplay sequences teased.
