The Last of Us Season 2, episode 6: The moth symbol, explained

The Last of Us Season 2, episode 6 packs such an emotional punch that it's difficult to see past Joel (Pedro Pascal) finally playing "Future Days" for Ellie (Bella Ramsey), or the teary scene in which he comes clean about what really happened at the Firefly hospital.

But woven throughout the flashbacks that span the five years between Season 1 and Season 2 is some subtle symbolism, which may have bigger implications for the characters and the story going forward.

We're talking, of course, about the moths.
