Um....this is just a random idea you might like for a step 2 moment but....what if the MC went to the bridge and up the mountain on their own, everything was ok until it started storming, they get turned around and lost trying to get back to the bridge tho what seemed like forever while they sit against a tree they see someone running to them. Tamarack. Qiu. Tamarack and Qiu. Qiu, Ren and Baxter. All 4 or other....again just an idea 😓🫣
