The Cabin at the End of the World Part 3, Chapters 5-6 Summary & Analysis

Part 3: “Bloody Like the Day You Were Born”

Part 3, Chapter 5 Summary: “Leonard”

Eric cries over Wen’s body, and Leonard recalls the moment before she was shot. Squeezing Andrew’s hands to make him release the gun, he felt the trigger click. Leonard cries and repeatedly apologizes for failing to protect Wen. He feels both relieved and guilty about Adriane’s death because it freed him from having to kill her. He pulls a white mask over her face.

Andrew pistol-whips Leonard, ordering him to sit on a chair. Leonard complies, almost knocking over the yellow lamp. Andrew asks Eric to hold the gun while he ties Leonard up. Eric is in shock and has renewed symptoms of concussion. He refuses to handle the weapon, instead tying Leonard up himself. When Eric briefly loses consciousness, Andrew holds the gun to Leonard’s head. He pulls the trigger repeatedly, but no bullets are left.

Part 3, Chapter 6 Summary: “Eric, Sabrina and Leonard, Andrew”

Eric’s concussion symptoms worsen, but he tells Andrew he’s ready to leave. Leonard urges the couple to turn on the TV first to see whether Wen’s death has prevented the end of the world. He points out that because she died accidentally, it may not “count” as a sacrifice.
