Gordon Williams and his wife, Kate Williams, are suburban Californian parents with two sons, Bryan and Keith. While Keith is more of a chipper, sporty extrovert who looks up to his father, Bryan is quiet, shy, nerdy and bookish, leaving him at odds with his father, who openly expresses favouritism towards Keith. Bryan looks up to Gordon as well, but has trouble expressing this; in the absence of his father's love, he finds solace in the praise of a kind-hearted male science teacher who stands up for him after he twists his ankle while playing baseball as the other players taunt him, including Keith, who is on the team. At home after losing the game, Bryan angrily tosses a baseball at Keith, who fails to catch the ball and then tattles on Bryan for "hitting" him. Bryan is punished without question. Keith openly berates Bryan for failing to win the baseball game, and mocks him for his failure to fit in with the family.
Bryan offers to take home the class pet, a rabbit, even without parental permission. He confides in Keith despite his better judgment, and the two brothers play with the rabbit while their parents are out at a restaurant. During a lightning storm, the rabbit gets loose, and the brothers frantically search the house, knocking over a decorative lamp and smashing it by mistake. Gordon and Kate are angry upon returning home and finding the house in a mess, and when Gordon inevitably discovers the rabbit in the house, Keith declares that Bryan forced him to keep it a secret. Gordon demands that Bryan take the rabbit back to his science teacher, which would be hugely embarrassing for him; he subsequently runs away from home but fails to get very far and returns home, only to discover that his parents have called the police. Gordon does not comfort Bryan, but instead shouts at him, hits him in the face and offers to help him pack a suitcase so he can live on the street. This causes Kate to stand up for Bryan, calming Gordon down, but Gordon still demands that he get rid of the rabbit. The next day, he returns home from work to find the rabbit slaughtered and buried in a shallow grave in the backyard. While Kate expresses horror that a gentle boy like Bryan would hurt a rabbit, suggesting he needs psychological help, Gordon brushes off the incident as a deliberate act of spite.
Hoping to bring the dysfunctional family together, Gordon and Kate rent a summer cottage on the lake, which bothers Bryan, who is afraid of water after a childhood accident in which he nearly drowned. As a result, Gordon takes Keith out alone on a canoe and Keith mocks Bryan for his inability to swim. Kate comforts Bryan and tries to convince him that his father still loves him but has trouble expressing it, which Bryan doubts, pointing out that his father has always been able to express love, pride and affection for Keith. Later that day, Gordon and Kate drive into town for supplies, leaving the two brothers at the cottage to play. Keith taunts Bryan about his fear of water, and Bryan runs out in the canoe, only for Keith to follow him. Keith mocks Bryan again about how he isn't good at anything, and a mischievous Bryan bets Keith that he can't swim for more than a few minutes straight. Keith tries to prove him wrong by swimming without a lifejacket, but he quickly grows tired and wants help getting back on the boat. As a joke, Bryan reaches his hands out but fails to pull Keith up as he splashes around. He pokes fun at Keith for being scared, unaware that Keith is not as good of a swimmer has he bragged about. When Gordon and Kate return to the cottage, they find that Bryan has rowed back to shore and called the police, and that Keith has drowned on the lake. Gordon sobs hysterically and hugs Keith's corpse, and the parents are made to take Bryan to a local sheriff's station for questioning. Bryan breaks down and admits to letting Keith die, and is kept in juvenile detention as a result. It is advised by Bryan's psychologist that the family partake in counselling, but Gordon refuses, furious with Bryan and concerned about what the neighbours will think when he realizes that Kate is telling people about the incident on the lake. Bryan is kept on house arrest until his court trial, and he tries to asphyxiate himself in the family car, only for Kate to rescue him.
It is decided that Bryan can return home for good only if his family gets the necessary counselling to deal with the incident. During the counselling sessions, Gordon admits to favouriting Keith over Bryan, an act that he now realizes was child abuse, and that his physical and mental treatment of Bryan had been abusive, as well. He also reveals that his own childhood upbringing was unpleasant and cruel, which may have influenced how he raised his two sons. When Bryan is finally allowed to return home, Gordon apologizes to Bryan outside the courthouse for the way he treated him, and while awkward, this newfound interaction with his father causes Bryan to smile.

In the morning, Olli and Anneli hitchhike along the country roads and get a ride to Kotka. They go to the ship, where Anneli meets her old friends and colleagues. However, Olli immediately begins to rationalize and manage the sailors' work. There is no togetherness, Olli returns to land and gets into the black car waiting at the pier.
As Ritsuka and Mash Rayshift to the Singularity, they both see a vision of someone speaking of how they cannot bear the endless suffering of humanity, which they are subjected to due to their clairvoyance exposing them to all the horrors of the past and future. They decide that the only way to rectify the repulsive state of the world is to destroy humanity, and that to achieve this, everything must be redone and perfected from the beginning, from true nothingness. Their plan is to recreate the planet from its very origin, which requires the massive amount energy generated by incinerating all life across 3000 years.
Waking up from the vision, Ritsuka and Mash find they have arrived at Time Temple. Leonardo da Vinci reports a Beast is detected throughout the entire space. Lev Lainur Flauros appears before them, commending Chaldea for getting past the Seventh Singularity while simultaneously expressing surprise and disgust at their persistent survival. When questioned if he had intended to destroy Chaldea and humanity from the very beginning, Lev reveals that he has been serving Solomon for 3000 years: Demon Gods were implanted in mage lineages until they were awakened at their appointed era under their own Grand Order. He was designated to 2016 A.D., and when he awoke as the last Demon God, humanity was incinerated. In turn, Da Vinci reveals that Chaldea survived because Romani Archaman spent a decade preparing for the Incineration of Humanity that he envisioned in a dream, despite not knowing who to trust until Da Vinci's summoning. Lev Lainur had intended to kill Romani with the Control Room explosion, but that plan was thwarted thanks to Ritsuka's accidental intervention.
Unconcerned, as Solomon's final calculations are due to be complete in a matter of hours, Lev transforms into Flauros to stop Ritsuka and Mash from reaching the Throne. The pair kill him, but he is immediately reborn, mocking them as Chaldea is attacked by eight other Demon Gods. The entire space is revealed to be made of Demon Gods, and Flauros asserts that, "As long as the Throne exists, there will always be seventy-two Demon Gods." However, he is thwarted in his next attempt to kill Ritsuka by the sudden arrival of Jeanne d'Arc, who heralds the autonomous summoning of many Heroic Spirits to the Time Temple through their connection with Ritsuka. She rallies the Servants to clear a path to the Throne and they begin to defend Chaldea and engage the Demon Gods, killing the Pillars as endlessly as they can regenerate.
As the Servants aiding Chaldea continue defeating the Demon Gods, Baal asks Solomon to activate Ars Almadel Salomonis to incinerate the Heroic Spirits. Solomon assesses that they would keep returning as long as Ritsuka exists, reflecting the Demon Gods' own immortality as long as Solomon himself exists, and thus they only need to kill Ritsuka.
After conquering the seven terminals protecting Solomon's Throne, Chaldea learn of an eighth terminal and are uncertain how to proceed as the Heroic Spirits who aided Ritsuka and Mash with the previous terminals were connected to the Seven Singularities. They prepare to fight alone, but then Servants from the minor Singularities and Singularity candidates arrive to help them defeat Andromalius and the Demon Gods administrating the Trash Heap.
With the Demon Gods' activity diminished by their constant fighting with the Heroic Spirits, a path opens to the Throne. As Ritsuka and Mash hurry towards the location, Romani reasons that Solomon cannot be a fake, as the Time Temple was created from Solomon's Magic Circuits, and instead deduces something inside Solomon's body is controlling his corpse. After resurrecting his corpse, "Solomon" implanted the Demon Gods in preparation for the Incineration of Humanity. Afterwards, he created the Time Temple, which exists outside time and space, and waited there until the year 2016.
Upon arriving at his throne, "Solomon" announces to Ritsuka and Mash that the final calculations for the First Virtual Noble Phantasm, Ars Nova, are nearly complete. He explains he possesses three Noble Phantasms: the First is Ars Nova, and the Second is the Temple itself, Ars Paulina. The Third is Ars Almadel Salomonis, the light bands in the sky that were created from the energy gathered from incinerating humanity when he fractured history with his Singularities. "Solomon" needs it all to achieve the "ultimate position" and conquer death itself if humans will not. He then fights Ritsuka and Mash, intending to kill the last Master of Humanity as they are the anchor for the Heroic Spirits. Eventually Mash notices a strange reading on his Spirit Origin, and Ritsuka sees that one of his rings differs from the others. Impressed, "Solomon" decides to reveals his true form. As Demon Gods cover the throne, he identifies himself as a Beast of Calamity, the first familiar created by Solomon that served as the foundation for human magecraft. He had ruled alongside Solomon and continued to exist as a primordial curse after Solomon's death, taking took control of Solomon's corpse and incarnating himself through a summoning spell. With his true form unveiled, he identifies himself as Goetia, the Human Order Incineration Ritual and King of Demon Gods, and Beast I.
Goetia declares his plan to travel back to the genesis of the planet and absorb all of its energy to create a new planet without death. The purpose of the Incineration of Humanity was for gathering 3000 years worth of magical energy to accomplish this feat. Ritsuka and Mash attempt to defeat him before he can activate Ars Almadel Salomonis but they are too late. Goetia offers to let Mash join him, believing she would understand his views on death since she was created with a limited lifespan. Mash rejects due to her experiences with Ritsuka, so Goetia launches Ars Almadel Salomis. Mash protects Ritsuka with Lord Camelot, but the heat of Goetia's Noble Phantasm vaporizes her, leaving only her shield.
Goetia prepares to launch his Noble Phantasm again when Romani suddenly arrives. Romani removes his glove to reveal Solomon's tenth ring, which had been sent into the future by Solomon. Marisbury Animusphere had used it as catalyst to summon Solomon in the Holy Grail War of 2004. Romani explains that Solomon's wish on the Grail had been to become human, however, he had foreseen the Incineration of Humanity just as all of his power left him. Romani then manifests as his original self, the true Solomon, having abandoned his wish. Goetia attacks him in fury, but Solomon, with all of his rings present, activates the true Ars Nova. This sacrifices his existence as a Heroic Spirit to remove Goetia's immortality. Before disappearing, Solomon reveals Goetia was originally a spell created to watch over humanity, but Goetia turned away from that duty after seeing humanity's suffering and atrocities. Goetia again attempts to kill Ritsuka to remove the Heroic Spirits, intending to activate Ars Almadel Salomonis before the union of the Demon Gods that comprise him completely collapses.
With Solomon's sacrifice, the Time Temple begins to collapse, and the Demon Gods are thrown into disarray: they either self-destruct, are destroyed by the Heroic Spirits, change side, or flee. Goetia's body begins to crumble away due to Ars Nova destroying the Demon Gods' union. Even when only three Demon Gods remain, he refuses to admit defeat and continues trying to kill Ritsuka. Ritsuka retaliates by protecting themself with Mash's shield and seemingly destroys Goetia with a punch empowered by a Command Spell. They try to hurry back to the Rayshift point but are stopped by Goetia in a human form made from all that remains of the Demon Gods. Now understanding human mentality with his newly gained mortality, Goetia tries to kill Ritsuka to protect his pride. After Ritsuka defeats him, Goetia disappears contently. Ritsuka continues on their way, but the path beneath them collapses before they reach the Rayshift point. However, a revived Mash arrives and saves Ritsuka, and the two returned to Chaledea to celebrate their victory.

The story is told in six sections. The setting is an unnamed small town in Mexico “before the radio” was invented, i.e., before the early 20th Century.
Section 1: Doña Faustina, a local widow in her middle-aged prime, purchases an inn—now derelict after a new highway route strands it from out-of-town traffic. Doña Faustina’s younger sister Carlota and two elderly servants, José and Elena, reside with her. A vast acreage surrounds the former inn, once cultivated but now reclaimed by an almost impenetrable semi-tropical jungle. The local townspeople are mystified as to why the woman would purchase the useless property. Idle rumors abound, among them that the inn has been converted to a bordello; that the sisters were harboring a notorious bandit; that a drug ring operated on the premises; that the sisters were luring vulnerable travelers to the old inn, robbing and murdering them: all these rumors collapse upon examination. The community is divided: Dona Faustina is deemed either a penniless lunatic or a crafty eccentric hoarding a fortune.
Section 2: When a local child disappears, Doña Faustina is suspected of abduction, and the police are sent to search her residence. Despite the proprietor’s hostility, the authorities discover that the home's interior is in shambles, furniture shattered, and decaying food and refuse on the floor. These conditions reinforce the impression that Doña Faustina is pitifully deranged. Locals report the older and younger sisters embarking on mysterious trips to far-flung cities and returning with bundles of goods.
Section 3: The servant José, while searching a “zapotes" on a remote and densely vegetated region on the property, discovers an earthen water tank built for cattle in the estate's heyday and hears a big splash he suspects is caused by some creature. Troubled and intrigued, he returns during subsequent months to solve the mystery. He soon discovers that a man-made path has been cleared from the tank to the old garden at the inn. While walking, he encounters Doña Faustina carrying a covered basket. She fiercely orders Jose back to the house. Jose confides in his wife that Dona Faustina is utterly mad.
Section 4: On a cold and foggy night, a knock is heard on the inn's door. Doña Faustina and Carlota, suspicious, decline to open it. Satisfied that it is not the police, they retire to their respective bedrooms. When Doña Faustina enters her room, she discovers a strange young man standing next to her bed. He immediately subdues her and binds her wrists. The intruder searches the room for money but finds none. He rapes her. Afterward, Doña Faustina makes an offering to the man, encouraging him to ingest the contents of a small packet, “soft and slightly wet.” Doña Faustina assures him that the gift will empower him, and he eats the proffered object. She praises him, and he departs from the house.
Section 5: To Carlota’s dismay, Doña Faustina announces that she is with child, declaring that her offspring will have “the power of thirty-seven.” She cancels all further excursions during her pregnancy. The newborn, a boy, is healthy and strong, “a real little bull” according to the servant Elena. Jose (accent) suspects that the father is the Devil. Months pass and Jose uncovers the source of the splash at the water tank is a giant crocodile. Outraged that such a beast resides unmolested on the property, he reports his discovery to Doña Faustina. She reacts with hostility and denials. Frightened that her husband will be dismissed, Elena attempts to discredit his report. Jose is confined to his quarters because he is delusional, but Dona Faustina is troubled by her servants' inconvenient discovery.
Section 6: Dona Faustina, concerned that the police may be summoned, departs the inn with her sister and infant son and flees to the provincial capital. She applies for and receives an appointment as a police matron based on her strong physique and character. The local police are led to a water tank and discover not one but two crocodiles. The disappearance of dozens of children during the past several years is initially attributed to these creatures. Further investigation of Doña Faustina's home reveals young children's bloody garments. The police concluded that body parts were harvested from the victims. Dona Faustina reads of the discoveries and is complacent that her whereabouts will not be discovered.
Fifteen years have passed. Doña Faustina’s son Jesus Maria grows to manhood and is mentored by the Chief of Police. He joins the Mexican army and is soon promoted to colonel. He successfully captures the notorious bandito Fermin Figueros and his gang - the “thirty-seven” his mother had predicted. Rather than execute them as expected, Jesus Maria frees them. He is demoted but exults in this rebellious behavior: “the only time he had ever known how it feels to have power.”
The story is written from a Limited-Omniscient point-of-view, with the six-year-old Donald serving as the focal character.
The six-year-old Donald accompanies his mother and father, residents of New York City, to a family Christmas gathering at the home of his maternal grandparents in rural New England. The boy’s father, Owen, is a harsh authoritarian critic of his son, and, in private, is physically abusive towards both Donald and his mother. The boy harbors rebellious thoughts, but fears provoking his father’s wrath and copes by becoming detached emotionally. The extended family is aware of the situation, but loath to interfere.
They arrive at the farm on Christmas eve for a supper attended by maternal Uncle Willis and Uncle Greg, who is married to Aunt Emilie. Donald’s aunt and uncles treat the boy with affection, the only child at the event. Uncle Ivor and Aunt Louisa, Owen’s sister, are expected to arrive Christmas morning, accompanied by Ivor’s employer, the well-to-do Mr. Gordon. Ivor is Mr. Gordon’s live-in male nurse and presumably his lover. Aunt Louisa lives at a separate residence provided by Mr. Gordon by mutual agreement. The men are rumored to indulge in alcohol and prescription drugs recreationally. The uncles express disapproval of what is considered scandalous arrangement, but Aunt Emilie defends the menage-a-trois. Donald’s parents register dismay and indignation, and the boy is put to bed early to shield him from further discussions of the taboo topic. Donald has a waking dream of a wolf who arrives at the farmhouse and seizes his father by the throat, dragging the corpse into the forest.
Aunt Louisa and Uncle Ivor arrive with Mr. Gordon on Christmas morning. Donald, feeling detached from the affair, recognizes a kindred spirit in Mr. Gordon, himself an outsider at the family event. The Christmas tree is raised and gifts are exchanged. The presents from the rural New Englanders reflect their frugality. When Uncle Ivor, dressed as Santa Claus, distributes the presents brought by Mr. Gordon, the company is astonished at his largess: a fur coat and an ornate wristwatch for a delighted Aunt Emilie, and a dozen or so very expensive toys for secretly pleased Donald. The boy’s mother feigns appreciation for the gifts but is secretly offended. The father remarks: “It’s bad business for a kid to get so much.” Donald’s parents forbid him to play with his toys. Mr. Gordon remarks quietly: “It’s sinister.”
When Owen insists that Donald accompany him on a walk in the frigid cold for exercise, his sister Louisa, who has been celebrating the holiday with a large glass of brandy, begs him to reconsider: “Can’t you make an exception for Christmas?” A shouting match ensues between the siblings with Louisa, to Donald’s consternation, defending him against his father’s cruelties. Owen retaliates by alluding disparagingly to the relationship between Ivor and Mr. Gordon, and Louisa’s acquiescence in the arrangement. Donald’s mother stalks out of the room in shame. Her husband follows his wife upstairs, and Donald imagines him slapping and kicking his mother.
Uncle Ivor invites Donald to join him in the barn to collect chicken eggs. There he gently probes “is your father mean to your mother?” Donald’s father bursts into the barn, enraged that his son is conferring with Uncle Ivor, and escorts the boy to a secluded area of the farm. There he berates his son and demands that the boy accurately strike a tree trunk with a snowball. When Donald openly defies his father “for the first time” the enraged Owen smashes a handful of snow into face, then marches him back to the farm house. The engaged father retreats upstairs.
Aunt Louisa, Uncle Ivor and Mr. Gordon take their leave from the flawed festivities. When Donald’s mother prompts her son to thank them for the gifts, Mr. Gordon expresses sympathy for the boy: “He reminds me of myself when I was his age…sort of quiet and shy...”
After their departure, the father joins the company for supper and makes no further contact with his son. That night, Donald dreams of a visit by an affectionate wolf, who joins him in the forest, and they run together across the frozen fields.

Casey Harris, a fifteen-year-old girl, runs away from home to escape her divorced parents and sexually-abusive stepfather after her older sister, Grace Harris, is killed in a car crash. Boarding a ferry to the mysterious Clover Isle (which she found in an old library book), Casey quickly befriends Scott McDonald, a boy who runs the island's lone operating business (a diner), and also Holly Nemov, a Ukrainian expatriate and errand boy who is apprenticed to Desmond Trauer, a German-American necromancer living in a cottage kept running by black magic. Casey is taken in by Desmond immediately, and soon decides to live there until her own life is sorted out. Holly warns her against this, and Casey is forcibly bound to Clover Isle by Desmond, who possesses Holly to perform a sealing ritual on the beach. On Halloween (coincidentally also Holly's 16th birthday, which he has no interest in celebrating), Casey joins Scott and his sister Celia in a variety of satanic rituals and a bizarre, dangerous game in which they all skate on sea ice frozen up in the sky. Casey learns that Holly's family is dead, and that they had moved to the ghost town Kadykchan Village in Russia after developing cancer and severe ailments from the Chernobyl Disaster. Holly is being pursued by a "Black Dog" that wants to control him by harvesting his organs in a ritual sacrifice, which Holly evades by hiding on Clover Isle.
Casey discovers that Holly is killing tourists (unwillingly, under Desmond's control) and dumping the corpses in an abandoned swimming pool. With the help of a witch, Aisling St. Clair, who lives in a deserted motel on Clover Isle, Casey and Holly aim to stop Desmond, but he stabs Holly, nearly chokes Celia to death, and becomes mentally unhinged, leading Casey to defeat him by invoking her own latent celestial magic. Desmond, reduced in power and a shell of his former self, makes amends with Holly, and Casey, Holly, Scott and Celia return to the mainland, booking a hotel room next to a spacious shopping mall. The four characters fail to adapt to the normalcy of the mainland; Celia hoards food, Scott eats all the food, Holly becomes increasingly self-destructive and more paranoid, and Casey is left trying to blend in without being seen by police and by Dana Harris (her kind-hearted stepmother). She finds Holly acting more darkly and making disturbing comments, referring to himself as an "organ donor - unwillingly" for the "Black Dog" and stabbing himself with a cake knife. Casey learns that she can use her celestial magic to read minds, and in Holly's mind, she finds his past too horrific to investigate. Casey talks to the ghost of her sister, and rents an apartment for herself and her friends. She also grapples with the reality that her stepfather raped her multiple times, and Holly promises to kill the stepfather if he ever tracks her down. She learns that Holly is a sea demon (resurrected after a drowning accident in childhood) who will eventually be initiated and will probably live a short life as a result. In spite of this, she falls in love with him and has him vow his soul to her. Knowing that their future together will be limited, they move to a lighthouse on another island called Seabiscuit Cove.

He stands near the house contemplating his lands and the flock of sheep led by the shepherd Rabih, and on his mind is something that disturbs his peace of mind. That is because there were rumors circulating since the issuance of the decisions related to self-management regarding agrarian reform, and then an idea occurred to him that gave him pleasure when he looked from the outside into his daughter Nafisa's room, the content of which was summed up in the marriage of his daughter to the owner of the Sheikh of the municipality who was nationalizing the lands, at that time Nafeesa was inside her room, suffering from tightness and a feeling of weariness. She said I was about to explode, I will almost explode in this desert, then adds, "All the students rejoice in their holidays, but I spend my holidays in exile." Suddenly Nafisa calms down from the state of turmoil when she hears the sound of sad melodies that were played by the shepherd Rabah. She rejoices, and nothing comes out of that except the voice of the old woman Rahma calling for her brother Abdul Qadir from afar, announcing her coming, to go with Khaira - a precious mother - to the cemetery. I would like to see the world, I suffocate in this prison.” A few days later, the village celebrates the inauguration of a cemetery for the sons of the martyrs who fell during the war of liberation. Abed bin Al-Qadi receives the people of the village in his house, wishing to influence Malik and reconnect their old ties. Malik was the preacher of Zulekha - daughter of Abed bin Al-Qadi - who was martyred during the revolution. When Malik and his companions from the Mujahideen prepared a mine that was supposed to target a military train, it mistakenly targeted a civilian train, Zulaikha was one of its passengers, which aroused the wrath of the son of Judge Fawzi with the group to the occupation forces. This affected Malik's soul and he started to evade him, and on this day, the day of the celebration, Abed bin Al-Qadi Malik calls to see his wife Khayra, so he accepts her invitation, and when he enters the room, as soon as his eyes fall on Nafisa, he becomes stunned by what he saw, that she is very similar to her sister.
Abed bin Al-Qadi seeks to spread the news of Malik's engagement to his daughter, Nafisa, despite Malik's reservation. Khayra announces this good news to her daughter, and she strongly refuses because she does not want to stay in the village, and she also does not want to marry someone who is older than her and whom she does not know well. When the father insists on his decision and fails to stop him, she asks her aunt who lives in Algeria to write a letter to her, asking Rabeh to carry her to the central village and put it in the mail. Rabeh admires her because she spoke to him kindly, and thought she liked him, so he decided to visit her at night, and indeed he does, and when she suddenly finds him in front of her bed, she pushes him and curses him: “Get out of here, criminal! You filthy shepherd, you filthy shepherd.” He bowed his head sadly, and that painful word kept resounding in his hearing, “You filthy shepherd,” and from that day he decided to leave herding and work as lumberjacks. Days pass and the father is still determined to marry off his daughter to Malik, so she thinks for a long time about a solution to her problem. She thinks about claiming insanity and then committing suicide. Finally, she chooses a final solution, which is “escape.” As the women go to the cemetery, she goes out disguised as her father's prince so that no one knows her, so she heads to the station via a forested road, and remains and is bitten by a snake, so she faints. Because she doesn't want to go back to "my father's house, I will never go back to her", but the news spreads in the village and her father knows, and he resolves to slaughter a winner, so he goes to his house, and attacks him with force, wielding "Mousa Al-Busa'adi", and Rabeh's forces collapse. She pushed Nafisa out of the house and starts screaming. The people came terrified, and Nafisa headed back to her father's house, after her attempt to escape failed.

He and other community leaders confront Scott, who is cooking the body into a stew. Scott is shot and killed; Evan is shot, but he survives.
In an epilogue two years later, the power has never returned and the community is returning to their ancestral way of life. They leave the reservation for a new settlement.

Against the backdrop of Abel's imminent investiture, a loan taken out in the past by Abel's wife Nora to help her husband without consulting with him, comes to haunt her whilst a person from their past, Víctor (the privileged son of a corrupt former Junta de Andalucía high-ranking official and former acquaintance of the couple) comes into action.
In December 1966, Frank Mitchell escapes from Dartmoor prison with help from the Kray twins. A nationwide manhunt ensues and Mitchell finds himself holed up in a flat in East London with only his minder John for company. Unable to leave due to the ongoing manhunt, the menacing and short-tempered Frank grows increasingly frustrated and John struggles to control him.
To placate Mitchell, the Krays send over a hostess named Lisa, and she and Frank sleep together repeatedly over the next few days. Frank falls in love with her. Lisa is told she will not be able to leave either, as she has seen Frank and could identify him to the police. To calm matters, Reggie Kray also visits. However, it is clear that Frank is becoming a liability to the Krays. Frank, John and Lisa share a final Christmas Eve dinner together.
On Christmas day, Frank is led into the back of a van, thinking he will be heading to the countryside to meet up with the Krays. Instead, several men shoot him dead.
Doctor Neo Cortex harnesses the ancient power of Mojo and uses it to transform the peaceful creatures of Wumpa Island into powerful Titans. To obtain Mojo, Cortex captures a slew of Tiki Masks that act as its source, including Crash's ally Aku Aku. Crash confronts Cortex and manages to free Aku Aku as Cortex escapes. While Crash and Aku Aku venture through the archipelago and collect Mojo, Cortex tasks his henchmen Doctor N. Gin and Tiny Tiger with construction and stockpiling fuel for a colossal and purportedly unignorable "Cortexbot", and his niece Nina with continuing to mutate the local wildlife. Another minion, Dingodile, tries and fails to impede Crash. In the midst of her task, Nina — dissatisfied with her position and perceiving the plan's inadequacy — begins plotting to take over her uncle's operation, and she recruits N. Gin and Tiny following their defeat at Crash's hands. Nina eventually confronts Cortex, and it is revealed that the Cortexbot's only purpose is to dance.
Crash and Nina pursue the escaping Cortex into the Cortexbot, where Cortex feigns surrender. If the player had not gathered all the game's collectibles, Crash deflects a shot from Nina's mutating raygun back at her, transforming her into an infant. Cortex attempts to eliminate Crash himself, but he is defeated and his Cortexbot is destroyed. Cortex and a restored Nina escape to their mansion, where Cortex compliments Nina's treachery. If the player obtained 100% completion, Nina successfully shoots Crash with her raygun, transforming him into an impotent small-bodied version of himself. Nina then defeats Cortex herself, after which he orders N. Gin and Tiny to repair the Cortexbot, intending to destroy Wumpa Island with it.
