The scene opens with Emma sitting next to an unconscious Damien, worry creasing her face. Raj and Wayne have now joined Bowie on the top bunk, their faces pale with fear. Caleb stands frozen, shock evident on his features, while Scary Girl sits in the corner, giggling softly to herself. Axel, trying to act brave, stands in a fighting stance near the door, but the trembling in her hands betray her.

Julia, meanwhile, is on the floor, clinging to MK, tears streaming down her face. “MK, you’re alive!” she sobs, her body shaking as she lays on top of her friend.

MK looks dazed, blinking as if trying to process the situation. “What is happening?” she asks, her voice laced with confusion. She glances around at the others, noticing the panic etched in their expressions.

Emma, still sitting beside an unconscious Damien speaks up, her voice heavy with guilt. “We thought you were dead! Scary Girl just dragged you in here, and... while you were gone... we lost both Chase and Ripper...”

MK’s eyes widen in disbelief. "But— you guys thought I was the killer? You kicked me out!” she exclaims, her voice growing angrier as the reality of what happened sinks in. "You left me to die!"

Julia’s sobs grow louder, her grip tightening on MK. “I’m so sorry, MK! I didn’t know... I didn’t want to believe it...”

Caleb, still standing by the door, steps forward, his expression softening slightly. “Julia, you should hop off MK. She’s clearly hurt. We can take her to the medical tent later.”

Julia hesitates, her tears slowing but not stopping, before finally pulling away from MK, gently brushing hair from MK's face as if to reassure herself that her friend is really alive.

Confessional  - Julia
"I'm a mess.. all that time away from MK really made me regret my actions.. It also made me realise how fucking useless I am without her.. " She sighs in defeat. "Why do I feel like this??"

MK slowly sits up, wincing in pain but still alive, her anger simmering beneath the surface. "You all thought I was the killer... but now, after everything..." She stops abruptly.  "Where’s Scary Girl?"

Everyone freezes, glancing toward the corner where Scary Girl had been sitting moments earlier—only to find the space empty. She's gone.

"Wayner, I'm scared!" Raj says to Wayne.

"Same here Rajie!" exclaims Wayne. "Calm down guys.. I think it's alright now." Bowie says trying to make Wayne and Raj less freaked out.

A cold chill fills the room, and everyone exchanges nervous glances as they realize the nightmare isn’t over yet.
