Summary
Analysis
The girl from Cabin 10 comes back with food, one pill, and a book for Lo to read. In the mirror, she catches sight of blood on her face, left from Lo’s attack, and goes to wash it off. When she comes back, Lo sees that she’s wiped her penciled eyebrows off in the process, “leaving a smooth, skull-like forehead that was instantly, unbearably recognizable.” The woman is Anne Bullmer.
