Abby didn't just kill Joel: she tortured him. She purposely extended his suffering. "
You stupid old man. You don't get to rush this." And she made Ellie watch! She's waaaaaaay more sadistic.
Ellie targetted Abby's friends only insofar as she wanted to know Abby's location. She kills Jordan while he's strangling Dina. She kills Owen after he lunges at her trying to wrestle her gun away. She kills Mel after she lunges at her with a knife. The only one that was significantly more questionable was Nora, whom Ellie tortured for Abby's whereabouts, and which leaves Ellie traumatized. Ellie was also profoundly disturbed that Mel was pregnant; by contrast, when Ellie tells Abby that Dina is pregnant, Abby says "
Good," and it's Lev who has to walk her back from killing Dina.
Nick was tortured for info by Tommy. Manny was killed by Tommy (defending himself). Leah was killed by Seraphites.
