The Boy (Logan Pierce)
Dies: Season 1, Episode 1
How does The Boy die in “The Last of Us”?
This unnamed character stumbles into the Boston quarantine zone. Alone and malnourished, he’s bound and questioned by FEDRA soldiers, who promise him food and shelter. They run a test on him which turns red, indicating he’s infected. He dies off-screen, and a woman and Joel are responsible for dumping his body into a pyre. The woman says she can’t bring herself to toss the child into the fire, so Joel does it for her. The Boy plays a minor role, but he establishes that FEDRA has the means to detect infection. (Viewers later see that Ellie also scans red.)
