Pagpasok nila Cath at Reya sa loob ng hut kung saan nagbilog ang lahat ay nag-simula na ang kantyawan. "Ayie! Bati na sila!" sigaw ni Kun. Tinusok pa si Sheng si Reya sa tagliran at ngitian ito ng mapang-asar. Well, ibig sabihin lang non ay bati na ang mga babae. "Ay, ay, ay! Group hug!" sigaw ni Yujin sabay gitgit sa magkatabing si Jack at Jr. Nagtawanan lang ang lahat habang magkakayakap sila. Napangiti naman si Mark na saktong nakayakap kay Ali.
"Okay guys, dahil once again, we are one. Mas mapapadali na ang pag-alis natin!" bulalas ni Prey na inakbayan naman ni Jay at sinangayunan. "Okay, lets start." Jb started. "The plan is, pag-uusapan muna natin yung tungkol sa riddle nung liwanang, then when the sun rises tomorrow, we'll start our journey inside the forest." pagpapatuloy nito at nagsitanguan ang sila.
Hilary recited the riddle once again, with sureness and confidence. "The map is intractable. It is as cold as ice and very hard to reach but can be easily tamed when you touch its softest part. The key comes with the map, but it is unrecognizable and buried along with the secrets of the map." Napahinto ang sila at napaisip. They analyzed the riddle carefully.
"Very hard to reach? Uhm, could it be on the top of a tree?" Jack guessed. They nodded. "But, paanong cold? Eh wala namang cold sa taas ng puno?" Ali added. "Tama, tama." They said in chorus while nodding.
"Wait!" Sheng exclaimed. "If it is cold, baka related yun sa tubig?" she added. Everyone looked at each other's faces then nodded. "So, if it is a body of water, could it be a lake? Inside the forest?" Yujin said. "Tange, wala namang very hard to reach sa lake. mana pa kung sa falls, ano!" Jr exclaimed. Again, they looked at each other then their eyes widened. "Jose Romulo, isa kang henyo!" sigaw ni Jack. "It's on the top of a water falls!" they said.
"Pero, may nagababantay kaya dun? Intractable daw eh." sabi ni Hilary. "Maybe yes, maybe no. Pero whatever it is, we should take it down!" sabi ni Mark with matching actions pa. Natawa naman sila. "Right, if it's our only way out then let's crash whoever or whatever stops us." maangas na sabi ni Jack. Nag-apir naman sila ni Mark.
"Okay, okay guys. We're doing great! Now, all we have to do is wait until sunrise. Tapos we'll go. For now, magpahinga na muna kayo." sabi ni Jb. Lahat sila ay kanya-kanyang nagsihigaan sa kanilang mga puwesto. Hindi sila makatulog dahil excited sila para sa gagawing paglalakbay bukas. Hindi sila mapakali ngunit kailangan na nilang magpahinga dahil paniguradong maraming energy ang kakailanganin nila para sa paglalakbay.
Hindi sila makapaniwalang makakaalis na sila sa isla. They can't help but think, what will happen once we get out of this place? Maaalala pa ba namin ang isa't isa? Ano na ang mangyayari? Saan kami mapupunta? Mamimiss kaya ako ni Jack? Mamimiss kaya ako ni Kun? Ipagatatapat ko na ba ang nararamdaman ko kay Prey? Kung siguro nagkakarinigan sila ng iniisp, malamang nagkagulo na dahil sa dami ng tumatakbo sa mga utak nila ngayon.
