Weston and Hazel headed back to the forest and they went past the archway and it finally opened for them. Weston realized the door they were standing in front of was the same door from his dreams. They both step through and their pendants both pulse. They both witnessed the magic that was behind the doorway and they were both pulled to each other. On the way back to the inn Hazel asked Weston to stay with her that night.

Hazel and Weston decide to journey into the forest together where they learn about their pasts. As they’re drawn deeper into the forest by the humming noise it starts to snow heavy again and they head back to the inn. The next day they head to the attic and find journals that lead them back to the forest.
