The camp lies in an unsettling silence as night falls, the remaining contestants trying to find rest. Julia quietly gets out of bed, ensuring not to wake anyone. She slips out of the cabin and heads for the toolshed. She doesn’t want weapons; she craves something else.

Inside the shed, she grabs MK’s bloody jacket, still hanging where she left it. Her heart aches as she clutches the fabric, memories of her friend flooding back. She rushes back to the cabin, slipping on the jacket and hugging it close, trying to find comfort in its familiarity.

As morning rolls around the cabin is awoken by Scary Girl laughing whilst running in circles, all of a sudden she sprints out of the cabin door.

Confessional  - Bowie:
"Okk, so.. that just happened.." He says, grimacing.

Hours pass and Scary Girl finally returns, holding a black shoe. What?  "Where the hell did you get a shoe from?" Caleb asks, standing next to Emma. "It's MK's!" Scary Girl says smiling.

The cabin is filled with confused looks as Wayne, looking bewildered, turns to Scary Girl. “How did you find MK’s shoe?” he asks, eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

With a giggle, Scary Girl bounces on her heels, her eyes gleaming with delight. “I took it from MK!” she declares proudly.

“Scary Girl, MK is dead... she has been for ages,” Bowie attempts to explain, disbelief written all over his face.

“You guys are funny! She’s sitting under the tree!” Scary Girl laughs, seemingly unfazed by the serious mood.

Julia, wearing MK’s jacket, clenches her fists, feeling anger bubble inside her from Scary Girl's antics. “Oh really? Why don’t you show us then?” she snaps sarcastically.

“Okay!” Scary Girl replies, her excitement bubbling over as she skips out of the cabin. Yet nobody follows after her.

Hours tick by, and the remaining contestants grow increasingly anxious, convinced that Scary Girl got killed and isn't returning. They exchange worried glances, the atmosphere heavy with dread and uncertainty.

Suddenly, giggling fills the air, getting louder as it approaches the cabin. Bowie, overwhelmed with curiosity, rushes to the door and flings it open. “OH EM GEE, WHAT THE FUCK!” he exclaims, leaving the door wide open as he scrambles up to the top bunk of one of the beds, his heart racing.

Everyone turns to see Scary Girl entering the cabin, dragging a bloody, unconscious, MK behind her. Gasps of horror echo through the room, followed by screams as panic ensues.

“WHAT THE HELL?!” Julia yells, frozen in shock, her heart pounding in her chest.

Damiens eyes widen, his face going pale. He’s so shocked that he faints, collapsing to the floor.

Amid the chaos, Julia runs past the screaming contestants, her focus solely on MK. She drops to her knees beside her friend, cradling her head in her lap. “MK, no, no, no, please... I still had hope in my heart... no!” she cries, tears streaming down her face as she hugs MK’s cold body, sobbing into her chest.

Just when the group thinks all hope is lost, something unbelievable happens. MK suddenly sits up, her eyes flickering open, confusion etched on her face.
