1: The strange beast drifts along behind Rhoda, who is looking at the book still. Behind them the painting has changed: the meadow ringed by dead trees and patchy raw earth.
???: I believe this book talked about us like animals, if I recall. Animals that needed to feed and consume.
Rhoda: He was a crazy old man.
???: But do you deny it? You saw them. You saw us: the hungry animals of the sea beyond life.
2: The monster’s arm is draped over Rhoda’s shoulder, claws pawing at the gold necklace she wears again, the folded wings a symbol of Ta’esh-Hasim.
???: I hear you saw one in particular. Her gaping, gnashing mouth and her grotesque, faceless form…
Amazing that you still wear her holy symbol…
3: Clutching her necklace, the serpentine figure no longer visible, Rhoda looks up as Julia speaks.
Julia (off-screen): Something wrong?
Rhoda: What? No, why?
4: We see that some of the equipment from before has been returned to their cases.
Julia (off-screen): Why’d you take down these cameras?
Rhoda (off-screen): What are you talking about?
Julia (off-screen): When Melissa and I looked up from the letters, we found all this shit packed up.
Rhoda (off-screen): It wasn’t me. I was here the whole time.
Julia (off-screen): Are you sure?
Rhoda (off-screen): Are you implying something?
