When Clementine first laid eyes on Kenny at the ski lodge, her heart nearly vaulted out of her chest, and she thought that she herself might have died too. How in the hell was he still alive? From what Christa and Omid had told, he'd been eaten by walkers trying to save Ben. So why was he here at the moment? Why was he at the ski lodge, with a new group, and new personality it seemed like.
All the bad memories, all the nostalgia came rushing back to her in one quick moment. She felt overwhelmed with emotion; with sadness, with sorrow, and with regret. The faces flashed in her mind, Katjaa, Duck, Ben... Lilly and Larry, Chuck... And Lee. She knew Lee and Kenny were pretty close, and that Lee had always been loyal to Kenny. But Clementine had worked so hard so suppress these haunting memories, so that she would be emotionless. Kenny though, it was surprising.
It was like her whole perspective or world had changed in seeing him, in knowing that he was still alive. Just knowing that a part of her old life with Lee still existed. She wanted to scream, and cry at the same time, because now she had hope. Hope that maybe they would make it out of this. They had lost so many people, but Kenny was still alive, and Clem was strong like Kenny. So maybe, just maybe, they would survive.
