Ethan continues to watch his body deteriorate even further as the helicopter ascends into the clouds, leaving behind the wreckage of the village that’s been swallowed by the megamycete.

He clutches Rose in whats left of his arms, his face not one of anger or sorrow, but one of acceptance and gratitude to be able to save his daughter and spend one more moment with you. He closes his eyes, expecting the rest of his body to turn to dust, but instead feels warmth flooding through his body. His eyes snap open and his jaw drops in shock when he sees his body mending itself, restoring his fingers and hands to what they once were. Ethan looks over to you, about to reassure you that’s he’s alright now, only for his face to fall in complete horror as he now watches your hands start to crumble and fade away.

You’ve switched places with him. Somehow, you’re taking the fatal blow instead.
