* BrokenTears: Ellie and Riley share them as they embrace once they decide that they'll spend the last hours of their lives together.
* DrivenToSuicide: Ellie and Riley come across the corpse of a man who overdosed on pills, then drank a ton of pre-outbreak alcohol. While Riley believes he may not have realized the danger, Ellie speculates that he knew what he was doing.
** Discussed at the end of the mall flashback, when Ellie and Riley talk about what they will do upon being bit. Riley says that, while it's quick and painless, she'd prefer to spend whatever time she has left with Ellie.

** Ellie repeatedly has to shake and fumble with her flashlight as it keeps going out, just like how the player would have to shake their controller each time their own flashlight died in the games.
** One of the items that Ellie guesses that Riley wants to show her is water guns. In the game's version of ''Left Behind'', that's exactly what Riley has in store, and the two play a game of cat and mouse with them.
