If you’re still reeling days after that episode of The Last of Us Season 2, here’s something that might heal you ever so slightly.
In a promo video by HBO Max, stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey finish up their chat by vibing out to a song that answers the question: “What song would you choose to sum up our time working together?”
Folks, it’s Olivia Newton-John’s impeccable 1980 gem “Xanadu,” a dreamy tale of a place where nobody dared to go and the love that we came to know. “Very Last of Us,” says Pascal. “Theme song.”
It’s a record Ramsey explains they bought for Pascal in the clip above (it’s at the top and at 5:54). In Max’s extended TikTok version of the moment, Ramsey tells Pascal, “You got a new number, texted me the link to the ‘Xanadu’ song to prove to me that it was you. You’re like, ‘Hi, it’s Pedro. Got a new number,’ and sent me ‘Xanadu.'”
Watching this pair then play the track, with Ramsey singing and Pascal taking on the role of backup dancer, might be a temporary moment of healing for those still broken by Sunday’s episode and the big death — a moment you can also watch Ramsey and Pascal reacting to.
