Part 7/9:
The child is plagued by memories of a girl at school who teases her at night—a phantom that speaks to her fears. In an intimate setup, Rose converses with a spirit, trying to come to terms with it. The fact that she can hear the ghost reflects her innocence, but also hints that darkness lurks within childhood imaginations that are often ignored by adults.
The Battle for Safety
The climax crescendos as the neglect and trauma culminate in a confrontation with the supernatural. Natalie, desperately seeking to protect Rose, dives into the depths of her own psyche to confront the darkness and the traumas of her past. As she goes through the motions of confronting the spirit’s motivations, she unravels threads of familial connections that have long been neglected.
