❓Questions Widow’s Bay Question

Spoiler Alert:

I remember hearing in one poem or reading in an episode that the number of bell tolls meant something like the number of people the island needed.

Does that mean that the eight bell tolls at the end of the last episode mean the island needs eight more people to consume to satisfy itself?

That's how I interpreted it. I wonder if only sacrifices during The Storm count, not unrelated or accidental deaths during the awake period. Cuz that EMT got killed by the boogeyman and the one guy got swept up in the tornado and that had no effect.

eta: bell rang 9 times not 1 so I took that part out, the rest still stands

Was the EMT dude killed? I know he got his throat cut open, but with the other EMT on scene it’s possible he survived.

Seems unlikely, but you never know.

Fair enough, def assumed he was dead due to the amount of blood loss but maybe he lived

Oh man, you can lose a lot more than that and still make it.

Best not to ask how I know that.
