Part 5/11:
As the two men debate which door to traverse, a surprising twist occurs: a little girl materializes. She turns out to be another lost soul, shaking Daniel to his core. The girl reveals her own tragic demise—a product of fatal recklessness on Daniel’s part. This connection draws out a deeply unsettling confrontation; Daniel’s previous actions now spiral into a narrative of guilt and innocence intertwined.
Dialogue gives way to desperation as Nathan and Daniel attempt to guide the child toward the white door, only to be met with rebellion and fear from the girl, who is conditioned to distrust strangers. In a rash act of perceived urgency, Daniel casts her into the sanctuary of the white door, marking a tragic crescendo in the narrative.
