Charlotte Knows That Her House Isn’t Safe Anymore
Paul’s sons, Thomas and Joseph, share a robust bond with their neighbor, Charlotte, who lives at the Rose Farm with her parents.
Out of Paul’s two boys, Thomas often sneaks in to set a date with Charlotte, and Joseph is aware that his brother has a soft spot for her.

Paul compels Joseph and Thomas to stay inside the house and do the chores, whereas Thomas intrudes so that he can meet his ladylove, Charlotte. That day, he has no choice; he stays in.
When Paul is out of sight, Thomas trips off to Rose Farm. By evening, he slips and gets trapped inside a cave while he hurries for home.

The sun rises on injured Paul and so-far survivor Thomas, who goes to Rose Farm with Joseph. Thomas and Charlotte join forces with Paul, ensuring he takes the medicine to help him.
Together, they devised a plan to lure the creatures into a trap and detonate it, using fire to keep them at bay.
They hid to shield themselves from the explosion and resolved to leave their home behind, setting off on their journey together. However, Paul and Charlotte’s parents don’t make the survivor list.
