I mean I was expecting some horrible awful shit to come out of David’s mouth this episode but I was Not expecting him to connect Cordyceps to the absolute devastation that love causes, the kind of love that makes you do things you never thought you could for someone you love.
“What does Cordyceps do? Is it evil?
No.
It's fruitful. It multiplies. It feeds and protects its children, and it secures its future with violence, if it must.
It loves.”
That’s the most fucked up and terrible way of explaining it, and it’s exactly what Joel and Ellie are willing to do for one another. Thanks for that, David.
