Director Clark and his team rushed into the mansion, only to find the previously scattered guests and cameramen now gathered on the second floor.
Everyone's gaze was fixed ahead, expressions of shock evident on their faces.
Pushing through the crowd to get a closer look, they saw Scarlett Jennings standing in the same spot as when the screen went dark, while opposite her, Dashiell Xalvadora lay on the ground. His pale face was full of terror as he clutched his throat, gasping for air.
"How, how is he?"
Director Clark meant to ask if he was still alive.
"He's fine now," came Evander Simpson's voice first, his tone carrying a hint of complexity as his gaze flickered to Scarlett Jennings.
Before they arrived, or more precisely, the moment Scarlett broke through the Mirror Realm to pull him out, she had already captured the five female ghosts and the Ferocious Fiend hidden in the mansion.
