Part 7/8:
In a heartbreaking crescendo, Patrick’s strength falters against Bagman’s monstrous grip, leading to a fatal end that embodies childhood fears coming to life. The lingering essence of the bagman—who marked Patrick in his youth—envelops him, claiming him as yet another victim.
All that remains is a chilling reminder of the past—an abandoned flute that echoes through the cave, symbolizing the lost innocence of childhood now ensnared in darkness. The narrative closes with the realization that the bagman is not merely a figment of imagination but a lurking terror that binds victims in an unending cycle of fear and despair.
