Neil shouldn't need to, but it's obvious that it's harder for some people to understand the story.Ideally you shouldn't have to refer to outside sources to explain the game/movie except for maybe lore info, wouldn't you agree?
Assuming Neil's talking about how Joel dies then I didn't really pick up on Abby being very regretful of her actions near Jackson. She was mostly concerned for the scars because they saved her life, not because she feels she's making up for something in her past.
This is why explain videos are so popular on YouTube, people cannot understand simple points.
And no, Neil is talking about Abby's entire arc during that section and coming back from a horrible act. An act is singular and it's clearly referencing Joel.
You always try to find an alternative interpretation because you want so desperately to believe you're right. At this point, you're denying facts, so there's no need to go any further.
