Taryn fails to apply a tourniquet to stop Lumina from dissolving and as she dies, her yellow eye lodges in his palm as her inksac stains his forearm. Anyra and Eike help Barney climb out of the well and notice that he looks strangely fit and healthy. As all four head out, following the stranger along his orange line, Eike makes a quick detour to set the shack on fire.

The stranger invites Taryn to follow the orange line and lends his flask to Taryn to nurse Lumina back to health. Whatever liquid the stranger carries instead begins to dissolve her.
