We then cut back to Joe who has just woken up and he carries on towards camp but struggles with new senses of sadness out of asking himself whether or not Simon and Richard will be there to greet him when and if he gets back. The voices in is head push him on and once he believes to see the tents he shouts out Simons name, There are no tents in sight.
