The Watchers

Mina struggles to return to her old life after leaving the forest. The bus driver allows them a ride with the tourists and gives them chips and water. When his route ends at the coach station, the tourists leave, but Mina, Chiara, and Madeline remain. The driver offers to call someone or take them somewhere, and Mina asks if he can drop them off at her apartment. He ends up watching them until they are inside.

Mina looks over her place and realizes that no one—not even her sister—ever came looking for her. She feels that her window is too thin. Madeline thanks Mina and looks out the window as Mina and Ciara cook the frozen food remaining in Mina’s apartment. Ciara worries about how to keep the truth of her imprisonment from her family, and she shows the others the camera that she found in the forest. Madeline tells Ciara to destroy it. Ciara says that she’ll think about it and holds onto the camera. Mina reassures Madeline that she will destroy Kilmartin’s research at the university the next day. After Mina drags her spare mattress out of her studio, she and Ciara sleep in the living room.
