After following a humming generator, I found Owen hiding on a boat. After a tense argument about his plan to head to Santa Barbara, their confrontation turned physical. Later, a dark nightmare about the hospital and the children forced Abby to wake up and decide to return for Yara and Lev.
I had to go through that sharp mouth opening to look for Owen after checking around the surrounding area. I noticed there was a generator running nearby, and the low hum of the machine told me I was on the right path.
After getting to the gallery section, I found the boat I had seen earlier. I noticed there was a warm light glowing from inside the boat, which made me confirm Owen's presence there.
I went for the boat and we at last found Owen sitting there quietly with a coffee mug in his hand. He looked exhausted and surprised to see me standing there in the doorway.
Owen thought Isaac had sent Abby after him to bring him back to the base, but she told him the real situation. After having a talk about what happened to Danny, Owen mentioned he was going to Santa Barbara to look for the fireflies.
As Danny had died because Owen defended himself, Abby said she could fix the mess with the WLF, but Owen was not going for it at all. He was tired of the fighting and the constant cycle of violence.
Their bold conversation became much more heated as they struggled to understand each other's choices.
After a very bold and emotional conversation, they started fighting in the middle of the boat. The physical struggle was a release for all the stress they had been carrying for weeks.
It was a messy and complicated moment that changed the dynamic between them for the rest of the night as they went intimidate after the fight.
In the next scene, Abby found herself back in the hospital, moments before finding her dad dead in the operating room. The halls felt long and cold, just like they did in her memories. I ran toward the door, dreading the sight we knew was waiting for on the other side.
After going towards the operating room, I got a different situation than the real one from the past. In this nightmare, we saw Yara and Lev hanging dead from the ceiling. It was a terrifying sight that showed how much guilt Abby was carrying for leaving the two children behind.
She got up from her sleep suddenly, realizing she was having a bad dream about the kids. Her heart was racing and she was covered in sweat as she sat up. The image of the dead children stayed in her mind, making it impossible for her to go back to sleep.
She decided to get back for the kids because she knew they would not survive long on their own. Yara was badly injured and the Scars were actively looking for them. Abby gathered her gear and headed back there, determined to save them before it was too late.
We'll check what happens next in another post.

The dark dream scene was unforgettable. You cannot run from guilt anymore. Going back into danger proves that you are changing and trying to become better.
I can never be such strong. It's all Abby.
The physical fight on the boat was such a messy, human moment. It wasn't about winning; it was about all that unspoken trauma finally boiling over after everything they have been through together.
💯
That nightmare sequence in the hospital look like one of the most terrifying parts of the game. Using her father's death as a foundation for her guilt about Yara and Lev, shows how deep her internal conflict goes.
It was one of the most terrifying parts of the game.
