Chase through woods, as they get caught and thrown to the ground, sudden cut to blackout. This will remain for a couple of seconds in silence before a heartbeat can be heard for 4(?) beats before sudden cut to protagonist waking up tied to a chair in a dark room, followed by a pan of the room and the door slowly opening, with a hand on the door and then a sudden blackout followed by credits.
