Ethan was resolute in his decision to wait for the creature's emergence, determined to see what it truly was.
Although he had no way of knowing how long it would take for the creature to reappear, he was confident that it eventually would, as long as he waited with enough patience.
Ethan found it hard to believe that any creature could breathe indefinitely in a muddy marsh filled with muck.

Therefore, Ethan was not worried about it not reappearing.
His patience was one of his strengths, and this waiting game was not a difficult task for him.
As night had completely fallen, Ethan could no longer see his surroundings clearly.
Despite his vision being much stronger than that of an average person, the darkness impaired his ability to discern the environment.
