End of the cave

"Susan woke up. We don't have time for this. I think I can see a way out of here. Let's go."

As Susan's realization washed over her like a wave, a sense of despondency settled in the pit of her stomach, weighing her down with a heavy burden of disappointment. With a heavy heart, she watched Jude's retreating figure, her expression devoid of the spark of hope that had once burned bright within her.

With each step he took, Jude moved further away from her, his form disappearing into the darkness of the cave like a specter in the night. Though she longed to call out to him, to beg him to stay and face their fears together, she knew deep down that it was futile.
