11. 11Hubert's SilenceDuring the chaos, Hubert utters only his name, his eyes wide with a terror that transcends words. He seems to understand something the others don't, his fear a silent warning.
12. 12Ethan's HysteriaEthan's anxiety peaks. He sees fleeting figures in the shadows, hears phantom footsteps. His overactive imagination or are his fears finally manifesting the reality of their situation?

15. 15The Entity's GraspThe entity reveals itself, a shadowy, amorphous form moving with unnatural speed. Its chilling presence drains their energy, its goal unclear but undeniably malevolent.
16. 16A Desperate StandTrapped, the remaining boys must pool their courage. Leo's resourcefulness, Sam's strength, Ethan's observation, and Caleb's surprising bravery are their only weapons against the supernatural.
17. 17Ritual Under the MoonThey discover the entity is tied to the ancient cabin and a ritual. Understanding this might be their only chance to escape, but it requires facing the heart of the darkness.
18. 18Escape from the Silent SkyA frantic dash for the edge of the woods. The entity pursues, its power waning as dawn approaches. They break free, collapsing onto the familiar road, the silent sky now a symbol of their trauma.
