The Mitchell Mine, sealed since a 1947 collapse that killed seventeen miners, begins calling out current residents' names in voices that shouldn't exist. When rescuers pull Thomas Mitchell up from thirty feet of water after twenty-seven years, he begins to dissolve in the air while his skin screams from every pore, warning that they're digging to where the Pattern begins. Margaret descends through impossible depths to find the missing thirty-seven townspeople fused together into grotesque configurations, mining with tools made of compressed water while their bodies adapt with migrated eyes and new gills. At ninety feet down—deeper than the mine ever went—she discovers the breakthrough to the original lake, which isn't water but a living stomach organ containing everyone who's ever drowned in Millbrook, conscious and happy to be part of its digestive system. The thirteenth point marks where humans are revealed to be food that's been seasoning itself for 251 years, while Margaret's hands begin developing webbing and her eyes loosen, ready to migrate.
