Part 8/10:
In a decisive turn of fate, the haunting presence of a military faction on the island complicates their plan. Stranded and fearful, they must contend with not just the environment but also men whose motives remain unclear. The fray between humans is as dangerous as that with nature, emphasizing the narrative's drive to illustrate survival in its ugliest and most beauty-laden forms.

Each new discovery, deception, and the ever-present danger pushes them closer to the edge, fueling their resolve to escape the island’s clutches.
