She is the reason no one goes in the water.
But when Bronwyn does more exploring than she should, they are both in for danger they couldn\'t expec.
The living aren\'t the only ones who seek retribution when they\'re wronged.
Pain.
History.
She doesn\'t get that the lore is, well, truth.
The less Bronwyn pays attention to Hillwoods, the less Hillwoods will pay attention to Bronwyn.
She follows her own rituals to avoid any unnecessary attention--and if she can just get Bronwyn to stop asking questions, she can protect her too.
And another in the high school basement.
Anais tries her hardest to protect Bronwyn from the shadows of Hillwoods.
And a pool at the abandoned rec center.
All she hears are warnings about going in the water, despite a gorgeous lake.
Her grandmother is dying, everyone is standoffish, and she can\'t even go swimming.
Except Bronwyn is miserable.
And they\'re all meant to make some final memories together.
