The ghost tells Mina that she's not dead. She's just not moving. The ghost says she'll hide a stone in case the others try to catch her. Mina says she can sense that the others are trying to make eye contact with her, but she doesn't know if it's because they're trying to pin her down or because they want her to be their bait. Mina thinks that the old man is trying to get away with him, but the ghost says it was his fault that he didn't account for everything they might try to do. They may have had a better chance if the ghost could pinpoint their locations, but they don't have any blood. They're probably not going to split up, he says.
