[The older witch doesn't acknowledge Evelyn as she storms from the camp, but the little girl does, a small head turning at the sound of her name. She sees the other woman, and there's an awareness that indicates that while Dahlia and the other specters are simply a part of the memory, perhaps Freya, herself, is not.
Eventually they make their way back to a hovel, where Freya proceeds to wait. She refuses to eat what's given to her, childish logic telling her that she'll be able to eat when her father comes to rescue her. Her father was one of the fiercest warriors and she knew that when he learned she was gone, taken, he would come to her rescue and end Dahlia.
Her mother said she would tell him. And her mother wouldn't abandon her.
But her father never comes. She sits and she waits, watching all the hopes of escape slipping away until they were taken from her entirely as Dahlia bound their power permanently.]
