Part 6/7:
With June gone, the brothers are left with mounting isolation and confusion, mirroring their mother’s early fears of abandonment. Nolan's venture out into the woods leads him to an encounter with Cole, a hitchhiker, bringing momentary hope but ultimately culminating in tragedy. Samuel's descent into despair and eventual corruption at the hands of the great evil marks the climax of the horror they have lived through.
Nolan’s determination to save his brother paves the way for a tense and surreal finale. Confronted by the monstrous manifestation of his mother’s fears, Nolan's love redeems not only him but also transcends the grim reality they have lived in. His act of embracing the evil with love represents the ultimate rejection of fear and an assertion of familial bonds.
