Meanwhile, Samyuktha "Sam" - a psychologist based in Ooty, is seeking medical therapy for her 4-year-old son - Siddhu, who suffers from speech impediment.

However, Gautham reveals that Krishna, had died in a car accident the previous night, and that phones don't get satellite connectivity at the compound.

Having retreated back into the compound, Sam and Gayathri deduce that the recent texts weren't sent by "Krishna", given his premature demise, but that of a paranormal source.

While reading the pages, the group learns that the girl in-question, Boomika - was the autistic daughter of the librarian, Ganesan.

She had spent most of her time, either painting in an abandoned flat, or leisuring in the nearby forest, despite Ganesan's wishes for her to pursue proper education.
