Hello! 👋 Thank you guys again for everything you’ve done! I have a question for TFS; we all know how much Clementine cares for Lee, but I have to ask, why is it that Clem doesn’t mention Christa - at all. She hasn’t mentioned her since s2 and it feels a little harsh considering they shared a deep relationship -knowing each other for 2 years. Why do you think Clem hasn’t mentioned Christa and do you think we can expect anything from Clem to talk about her in the Final Episode? Thanks in advance.

I’ll start this by saying I wasn’t involved as a creative in S2, but just going by what was in the final game: I feel there was little love between Clem and Christa.

It’s not fair, and I assume Christa knows that, but it’s heavily implied Christa blames Clem for Omid’s death (and total conjecture, possibly the resulting grief that resulted in her miscarriage) and while she took care of Clem for a long time, when we see them together post time skip Christa is treating the task like an obligation as opposed to liking Clem at all, or having any warm feelings towards her.

I think that’s how Clem and Christa left their relationship when they last saw each other. Clem, likely holding onto fond and warm memories of Lee (and Omid) would not look back upon her cold and bitter years with Christa with fondness. Length of time doesn’t trump emotional experience, and Lee’s kind mentorship and sacrifice is more important to Clem despite how short it was in the grand scheme of her life.
