In the TWTWB novel, Ellie showed her feeling about the war that's happening in a chapter. When Ellie got furious about Chris falling asleep in his sentry duty, it's when you watch over enemies, Ellie was so stressed that she yelled to Chris for almost risking all of their lives, she also almost killed Chris about it. Later on, she got tired of arguing, she went asleep and had a nightmare about how she killed everyone she loved, how she was careless with gas bottles causing an explosion which blew up the house she lived in, with his parents in it, setting fire to a haystack where her friends were sleeping and a few more. This shows us that Ellie is in stress or in pain. Maybe this happened to her because of the 3 soldiers she killed with a bomb lawnmower, or when Lee got shot by a bullet and Ellie was so worried that she doesn't know what to do. People in wars experience PTSD which makes them experience scary, shocking, and dangerous events making them feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation...
