Ruby faces the shattering aftermath of the fatal confrontation on the back lawn. As police questions close in, Edie withdraws into shock, and Dr. Bradshaw urges calm, Ruby must hold herself together while the fragile world she built collapses around her. Grief overwhelms the house—and when Douglas, broken by loss, turns on Ruby and walks out, she’s left to navigate the ruins alone. In the silence that follows, guilt, love, and memory blur, and Ruby is haunted by the voice of the one person who might still understand her.
