What is the fake ending of The Last of Us 2?

The "fake" or original ending of The Last ofs Us Part II involved Ellie drowning Abby in their final fight in Santa Barbara, but then losing her fingers in a subsequent confrontation with an NPC, continuing the cycle of violence and leaving her completely broken, a darker path the developers ultimately changed to the more ambiguous, less conclusive ending we got to offer a sliver of hope. This scrapped version showed a more definitive end to the revenge plot but at the cost of Ellie's humanity and connection to her family, a direction writers felt was less honest to her character's potential for good.
