Ernest Delgado

Ernest Delgado, the main love interest of the protagonist, Eily Moore.

Biography
Ernest is one of Oliver's friends. He is Eily's ex-boyfriend.

Eily described him "[Ernest] was as tall as ever, easily towering [her] in a strangely comforting manner. His wild dark hair looked softer than [she] remembered."

He seems to still have feeling for her since she noticed that "he looked [her] all over as well, approval and hunger swirling in the darkness of his black eyes."

Romance
Eily's feelings for Ernest seems to be another important plot of the story. They both obviously still have feelings for one another. But when asked about why and how their relationship ended, Eily explained that he was the one that broke up with her. Ernest's intention is still unknown.

But when everyone's started disappearing one by one, Ernest went to Eily's side almost instantly, often protecting her and refusing to leave her side.

Ernest wanted to live the mansion as fast as possible but Eily refused to leave without knowing what happened to her friends. And when they saw a shadow in the woods, they know that they're not alone and it would be unsafe if they left, since that's what the culprit probably didn't want them to do.

It is unknown if he and Eily ended up together in the end or whether they actually survived the hunt.
