When Lukas arrived at the source of the whistles, he found Cary slumped over with his back to a tree. Next to him was the corpse of the abomination. He was breathing, didn't appear injured, and wasn't unconscious. The abomination, meanwhile, still had Cary's chains on it and plenty of scars that signalled the use of Cary's Frequency.
"Are you okay?" Lukas asked the withered Hunter.
Cary raised his head slightly to look at Lukas. His hair was more unkempt and dishevelled than usual, his face was sunken, and his eyes were slightly dim. He looked back at the ground before shaking his head slightly.
"What happened?" Lukas asked.
Cary slowly raised an arm to point at the abomination. He held up two fingers and weakly whispered the word "ghast" so quietly, Lukas almost didn't hear it.
'So it was a ghast. Two hearts it seems.'
