It was actually explained in an interview. Lee really didn't think Carley would get her head blown off two seconds later, so the game went on as normal saying "Carley will remember that" so that the player, along with Lee, wouldn't see it coming.
My recollection of the moment went something like this:
! Carley will remember that
sweet. This should lead to something cool down the road...
jeez Carley, lighten up a little. wait, what is Lilly doing with her shirt?
Well, those messages really worked to make me feel falsely safe during the scene, so when Lilly opened fire, I was shocked, to say the least.
About Carley's "injury". I love Carley. But she's dead.
It was shocking and unfair, of course, but you can't change what's happened. It just happened, gotta deal with it. She was a great character and a very nice girl, but she's gone. And Lee's dead too, so... I guess they will meet again.
1. "it just grazed her"/ "she could make it" (denial)
2. "Fuck Lilly (and Ben)" / "choices mean nothing!"(anger)
3. "What if i had said something different?" (bargaining)
4. "*sobbing* *has to stop playing game*" (depression)
5. RIP Carley (acceptance).
Time for a repost. Not my work, but thestalkinghead's.
*Snipped picture for size*
More accurate picture. Highlighted area is parts of your brain that is necessary to live. Blue line is trajectory of Lilly's bullet. As we can see, it hits the thalamus. The Thalamus is an organ that takes in all sensory and nervous information, and relaying it to where it's supposed to go. Thus, Carley is dead.
she got shot right in the head (albeit not dead center but that's not relevant) and fell dead instantly. don't know why you want to discuss her "injury". It was a fatal shot resulting in immediate death.
Believe me, I have played the game roughly 7 times (due to need for video-footage), I have seen that scene more than enough. It wasn't her cheek.
Edit: My proof the shot penetrated her brain thus resulting in immediate death:
#1 Gif of the shot
#2 first frame when the bullet hits carley (notice the lightning on the left of her, you can see the angle)
#3 frame of bullet hitting carley with arrows representing the flight path of the bullet, human brain for reference:

lol i am so happy that i felt the need to make this, it made me start drawing again, plus i still think it is a reasonably good explanation as to why she definitely died
it is a joke picture, sort of saying if you think Carley survived it is just as likely that Doug survived, and when you look at it like that most people say doug died and would realise that carley died aswell
I dont think the bullet hit the brain. Lilly was holding it normally, one handed. The bullet of course travels in a straight path. She was shot when she was turning her head so probably there was an exit wound in the other cheek. Basically, she was facing sidewards, then she gets shot. The bullet travels straight, so i dont get how it hits the brain. Lilly was holding thr gun normally, not tilted or angled.
I know that, no question.
Right now, people are discussing whether it hit the brain or not. Her desth is related, but right now we are talking about the brain.
We know shes dead. I made this thread a while back

Was discussed before. A Hand is almost always below a head. So the angle of the bullet is upwards. This is confirmed by basic physical logic aswell as confirmed by the lightning effects (see pictures above) which further proof the angle of the bullet.
But why are we even discussing this. She is dead for sure. I mean, her death is even more certain than the deaths of Shawn, Brie and Ben.
She wasnt perfectly side on in one cheek out the other XD You can see Lillys gun is about 10/11 oclock to her head BOOM
I was like
"Ha in yo face Lilly Carley owned you... Ih hey Kenny Oh sh*t she grabbing her PETCHAW Damn it Lilly
Okay, she wasn't killed by a 9mm bullet passing through her brains. She was left by the side of the road and she died of bloodloss with a huge part of her brain missing and spread on Ben's jacket. You happy now?
Bumping old threads is annoying...... still I guess this shows that back in season 1 plenty of people were still unhappy. Carley was the Sarah back then.

Sorry, anyway welcome to the forums, but when you comment on any thread, unless it's a sinking or sticky thread, it goes right to the top of the discussion board. We call this necro bumping, it's like say 2014 and imagine a thread from 2008 suddenly springs up, it's a bit annoying when that happens, hope you understand. I think this might be the second time you did this, with the other one being the thread about Doug.

It was the "Is there ANY WAY AT ALL to tell the group about Lee's past in Doug's scenario?" Thead.
You commented by saying this "Poor Doug. In every side with Kenny 100% episode, no one went to help Doug because hiding Lee's past from Kenny would only hurt his relationship with Lee."

WTF! Son of a B.....!
pauses game
Holy Shit what just happened!!!

From experience, 5 is the best one.
Honestly? I never thought Lilly would fly off the handle like that. The way it went for me was:
*Carley will remember that*. Hmm, guess Lee has a chance with her after all.
*Insert awesome *tough bitch* line here*. Yeah, tell'er Carley! *everyone turns around*
*Lilly reaches back for her gun* Oh, I get it. This is the part where she threatens us with the-
*Carley's head explodes* HOLY SHIT.

I posted this some time ago (a bit more reliable graphs but admittedly less 'luzly' to be fair)

As is Doug,
Ben,
Kenny (probably) and a few other characters.
Is this just fantasy?
caught in a zombie herd
I think some people here don't understand just how large the human brain is.
This aint bad
Well, now that Lee's gone, he joins his other friends, such as Carley, Doug, Katjaa, Duck, Chuck, Mark, and Ben who are all gone.
You just love to drag up very old threads, don't you?

Nice post dude!
I didn't know it was bumped!!!
Whoa! I'm new to this game.
god i miss her so much:(

DAMN this thread is old.
But yea, that's not an "injury"carleys ded. Isn't comin back.
When did I comment on Doug?
It was the "Is there ANY WAY AT ALL to tell the group about Lee's past in Doug's scenario?" Thead.
You commented by saying this "Poor Doug. In every side with Kenny 100% episode, no one went to help Doug because hiding Lee's past from Kenny would only hurt his relationship with Lee."
Did I do anything wrong with these comments?
