Part 4/8:
As Cassie's family begins to succumb to the chaos, we witness the impact of the alien waves taking a toll on human hope. The heart-wrenching funeral scene for Cassie's mother exemplifies grief amidst chaos, pushing Cassie and her family toward a refugee camp, where their remaining chances for safety are measured.
The arrival of the military seems hopeful, yet it soon becomes apparent that they harbor their own dangers. Colonel Vosch’s introduction creates an atmosphere of suspicion as he separates adults from children under the pretext of safety. Cassie's father, Oliver, urges Cassie to conceal a gun, emphasizing the belief that safety is an illusion.
