Part 4/8:
As the days progress, the twins grow increasingly paranoid about the identity of the woman living with them. Mommy enforces strict rules, demanding silence, forbidding visitors, and keeping the curtains drawn, which only intensifies the boys' feelings of entrapment. The emotional and psychological stress culminates in violent outbursts from Mommy, further convincing Lukas and Elias that this woman is not their real mother.
In shared nightmares, they envision their mother wandering through the woods in a disoriented state, hinting at deeper layers of confusion and fear. When Mommy tries to reconnect with the twins, offering gifts and apologies, they remain skeptical, leading to a climactic confrontation where they escape to seek help.
