Post-Credits
A now-lucid Carolyn Pelfrey awakens in the Circle City Cemetery to find Ryan Tolliver, whom she begs to help her get rid of the demon within her. Ryan says he has a machine that will determine whether or not Carolyn is lying, but advises he may not be able to help if what she says is true. He does, however, ultimately decide to help her.
