listen. the most jesse ever learned about why ellie even went to seattle to avenge joel in the first place is that “he had a falling out with former fireflies” and that “he was a smuggler and they disagreed about some goods.” jesse never learned about ellie’s immunity, even after he blew up an entire suburb to show up for her. he never even learned that joel specifically did what he did on ellie’s behalf and that’s why she feels obligated to seek revenge. he comes not because he’s in it for the cause, he comes because he’s that good of a friend. he wanted to protect the people close to him. he wanted to demonstrate that ellie’s pain was his pain, so he would help ellie do what she felt she needed to do to heal. he just wanted to be there for ellie. and he obviously would have taken a bullet for her, because well, he did. god, what a fuckin mensch. anyway, i love jesse and i miss jesse. i wish we got to know him more
