The lantern flame dies out. Silence. The skeleton boy stands alone again in the frozen square. He opens the lantern — and places his heart (a tiny glowing bone-shaped gem) inside it. The light reignites, turning warm and golden. Slowly, the frost melts, the pumpkins smile again, and faint choral music plays. The moon smiles softly above. Fade out as the boy walks away into the mist, lantern shining brighter — restoring life to Hollow Town.
