Charlotte expertly slithers down the rope. Pearl takes her time wrapping her leg around it, grasping the rope against her foot with the other foot, and slowly descends. As you swing your legs over the side of the well and prepare to go down the rope too, Pearl says from below, "Wait, there's not enough space, and it's too dark for Charlotte to see anything. I'm coming back up."
Pearl re-emerges.
You can hear Charlotte scraping and tapping. Then there's a crash, splash, and the rope goes taut again. Charlotte comes up again, shivering and wet. She mouths "ice" and lays her hands flat with fingertips touching, then flips them downward.
Pearl makes getting Charlotte dry a priority. The women head in to the guard tower for the bedding there, Charlotte peeling off her freezing clothes as they go. You hear someone inside breaking up wooden things.
You're outside alone. The area is quiet.
