Part 4, Chapter 7 Summary: “Andrew and Eric”

Content Warning: This section of the guide features death by suicide.

Sabrina pulls a white mask over Leonard’s face. She insists on helping Andrew and Eric find the truck keys, after which she says they can abandon her or take her to the police. Andrew reluctantly agrees, tying Sabrina’s hands behind her back. Carrying Wen’s body, Eric privately considers walking into the lake until he drowns.

Andrew and Eric agree that the SUV is undrivable. Andrew reloads the gun but promises to throw the weapon away once they’re safe. Eric admits that he fears Leonard’s prophecies are accurate. Andrew points out that the group’s references to falling skies were deliberately vague and could be interpreted in many ways. He also suggests that if Leonard’s death caused the air disasters, they wouldn’t have been reported on the news so quickly.

Storm clouds gather and rain falls as Eric, Andrew, and Sabrina walk away from the cabin. Eric interprets the unusually dark sky and rumble of thunder as signs of the end of the world. Sabrina breaks into a run, and the rope falls from her hands. Andrew points his gun at her but doesn’t shoot.
