She and Dina would have stupid what-if chats. What if one day, JJ was grown and wanted to live on his own? Move out? Well, I hope he'd figure out how to not poop in his pants by then, Ellie would joke, but really she didn't like the idea of JJ leaving, even if it was nearly two decades off in some unknown future. She likes her people with her, close. She hates goodbyes. She hates losing the few she cares about.
She wanted Bucky to graduate because she would get her person back, but he'd become one of her people, too. And now she's terrified of facing Joel, of all the emotions, and so she's staying and Bucky is leaving. It's weird. Maybe not so funny.
But this was the point of it all, right? It can't be for nothing. He has to go live his life and figure the rest of the shit out.
So, when Ellie opens the door and sees B with some things in his arms, she knows it's time. She steps back so he can come in.

"Hey, B. That time already?"
