    Nora Ashby holds Bella by the hand as they sprint together toward the foggy stone archway exit. They plunge directly into the thick mist. Instead of escaping, they immediately step right back onto the cobblestone street where they began.

  2. 00:37: A Spinning Compass in the Mist

    Nora refuses to believe the loop and pulls Bella through the mist a second time. They reappear in the exact same spot once more. Nora pulls out her compass to navigate, but the needle spins wildly out of control.

  3. 01:01: Spikes on the Stone Wall

    In a narrow alley, Nora searches for a different escape route and attempts to climb a towering stone wall. Sharp stone spikes suddenly pierce directly into her hand. The sudden pain causes her to lose her grip and crash down onto the ground.

  4. 01:33: Racing Against the Midnight Clock

    Nora sits in the alleyway and wraps a bandage tightly around her bleeding hand. She glances at her watch and sees midnight is almost here. Realizing the danger, she tells Bella they must return to the safe house immediately.

  5. 01:46: Figures Emerging From the Fog

    Nora and Bella run along the street toward safety before the hour strikes. Bella abruptly halts in her tracks. Two adult silhouettes loom directly ahead within the heavy mist, blocking their path back to the shelter.
