An eagled-eyed The Last of Us Part 1 fan believes that they have stumbled across Joel Miller's long-distance girlfriend, Esther, as an NPC based at Tommy's Dam. Since the franchise's debut in 2013, there's been no shortage of praise for The Last of Us' harrowing tale and its beautiful yet somber environments that are filled with unearthly infected and morally challenged enemies. However, beneath the game's cold and cruel exterior lies a story of hope, love, and the things people do to survive in such harsh conditions.
