Part 2/10:
The story opens with a sense of desperation and longing. A character pleads for a sign from God, seeking guidance to care for their family. The tone shifts abruptly when the characters arrive on the island, where the realities of strained relationships and past grievances simmer beneath the surface. The group, consisting of Oliver, Yas, Jake, and Maria, engage in weighty conversations, revealing their discontent and unresolved tensions.
Maria, who has a complicated relationship with her brother Jake, confesses that their trip was not of her choosing, and they are drawn to the island out of a sense of obligation tied to their shared family history. This foreshadows the emotional unraveling that is to come, as the island holds secrets that demand exploration and introspection.
