After flushing the pills, Marta finds the crack in her closet still leaking. Dr. Vance confirms the thing is real, an ancient hunger feeding on grief. Marta enters the crack wearing Sam's ring. She confronts the creature wearing his face. Instead of fighting, she shows it fullness instead of hunger. The thing crumbles, releasing Sam's echo. Marta returns to find the crack shrinking. She eats toast with Lisa and laughs. She is no longer hungry. She is full. The door is closing. She is finally alive.
