Part 6/7:
In the aftermath of their encounter, the group's dynamic shifts. They grapple with guilt and the weight of their actions. Fleet's recovery from the brink of death appears miraculous, yet the scars of their experience linger. The line between good and evil is blurred; they are left to wonder whether the true nature of the terror was the creature or their own actions.
As they leave the woods behind, the group contemplates their journey. What may have started as a search for solace ended as a stark reminder of how quickly darkness encroaches upon their lives. Their experience leaves them forever changed, haunted by the knowledge that they ventured into the abyss and returned—physically intact but mentally and spiritually altered.
