Yet, Fatima's anxiety over the unborn child festers, haunted by the notion that dark forces might be at play, considering her infertility in the past.
In a bid to reassure Fatima, Tillie offers to delve into the mysteries of a Tarot reading, her own grim diagnosis of terminal cancer having been inadvertently revealed through a previous reading.

As Tabitha ventured back into the realm of reality, her gaze stumbled upon a bottle tree, gracefully standing in the secluded backyard of Victor's familial abode. Yet, this tree lacked the portal-like hole that had once swallowed her whole, igniting a sense of unease. It was then that Victor's father, with a hint of nostalgia, spoke of the original tree, a tale that sparked an urgent curiosity within Tabitha. She implored him to lead her to its sacred grounds, but as they traveled in the car, her fingers stumbled upon a leather bracelet, a token of her affection for Jim, long forgotten yet now a poignant reminder.
Her heart heavy with foreboding, Tabitha's thoughts spiraled into a maelstrom of doubt. She began to question whether she had ever truly escaped the sinister clutches of that cursed town, or if it continued to toy with her very essence. In a panicked attempt to halt their progress, she struggled against the car's momentum, her actions inadvertently causing a disastrous collision. Victor's father was injured, their fate now entwined with the chaos of the moment.
As the ambulance rushed them towards safety, the driver's casual mention of a tree lying across the road struck Tabitha like a bolt of lightning. Her eyes widened in disbelief—she had been drawn back, inexorably, to the hellish confines of that town. The realization sent shivers down her spine, a testament to the unbreakable grasp of her nightmarish ordeal.
