The center turns down Daphne’s request, citing her history of extreme medicine and alcohol abuse many times back and also her wrathfulness issues. Despite being the eldest of the two, Wilson is way shakier and socially nervous than his family, and although he presently works as a janitor, his want is to come to a schoolteacher so that he can help others. Wilson manages to get hold of a job interview as well, or at least he says that he does, but the man is rejected indeed before he's called in for the proper interview, stating that his one time of a council education is simply not enough. Disappointed and saddened, Wilson visits Daphne’s house but doesn't get any response from her. Entering the apartment, he comes across colorful filmland and plates that make it feel like some kind of occult practice has been performed, and also he finds his family lying dead with medicines around her.
Wilson’s confused and slow-to-act character walks out of the apartment, spooked, and tries to walk down, till better senses prevail, and he runs back to help Daphne out. Although he can do nothing presently, he sees someone run out of his family’s house and incontinently understands that she has conceivably been boggled.

What Does Wilson Find Out About Daphne’s killer?
At first, Wilson wonders whether he's hallucinating and indeed feels that Daphne is part of his imagination, but Daphne herself speaks out and seems to give him all the evidence of her real actuality. She says that she had been trying to wake up from being dead for the last many days but wasn't suitable to originally, and now she wants to figure out the riddle of her death. before, Wilson had called up the number her dead family had telephoned for him and had set up a box containing Daphne’s particular things. He'd set up citation of commodity or someone that kept following Daphne far and wide she went, and she had also left behind a chart of the place where she'd encounter this snooper of hers. Wilson had gone over to the road name on the chart and had soon come across a man wearing a hood over his head, who sounded to be the same man he'd before seen in Daphne’s apartment.
This foreigner snappily attacks Wilson and gets him down on the ground, as the family has always been someone easy to give up to his fate, and also tells him that he'd some plan for Daphne which he'd carried out, and his coming plan was for Wilson himself. The man had to kill Wilson also and there, as he indeed pulled out his lighter to put him on fire, but also decided not to and walked down. Now, Wilson tells all of this to Daphne, as the two decide to work together to find her killer. Indeed when they were youthful kiddies, Daphne would be the one to cover her elder family from troubles and situations, while Wilson would be completely overcome by his fears, and now too, it's Daphne who helps him train, albeit not being alive.
Wilson toughens up with Daphne’s constant support, and they go out one night to hunt the bushwhacker. As they reach their intended position, Wilson is approached by a group of dangerous-looking men who feel ready to attack him. Daphne helps her family out just in time, and Wilson is left unharmed, but the siblings now express differing intentions. Daphne tells her family that the man they were following wasn't her bushwhacker as she didn't fete him, and she asks that they abandon their charge and go back. But Wilson now stresses that the man they've been following is indeed the bone they're looking for, and he indeed asks Daphne to stay out of his way if she's unintentional to help. He formerly again approaches the gang, and again it seems like he'll be attacked when another man walks into the scene and laterally stops the attack. When this man lights a cigarette, however, Wilson notices the lighter and recognizes it to be the same that he'd seen with the man who had earlier attacked him.
After being aggressive and also calmed down by the man himself, Wilson learns that this foreigner is a police officer named David Castille and that he'd gotten the lighter from someone differently. Castille says that his woman has left him, which is maybe why the man acts veritably eccentric at times and invites Wilson to have a drink with him. The family tells his entire story to the officer but doesn't mention that Daphne was his family, but only refers to her as someone he loved. still, Castille seems to know that Wilson was talking about his family, and it's this that makes Wilson conservative about the situation. Castille snappily reveals himself to be the snooper and killer of Daphne, and the two men fight, with Wilson managing to handcuff the officer. still, the man, who has supernatural powers of his own, breaks out of this impediment and injures Wilson gravely. He tells him that when he kills someone with a broken soul like that of Daphne, the soul stays behind till he returns to eat it. Castille now approaches Daphne and seems to consume her soul and body likewise.
As Wilson lies injured on the ground, he remembers his relations with his family from five times agone. At the time, Daphne was at the height of her medicine abuse phase and was one night floundering with an overdose on the thoroughfares. It was Wilson who had set up her in that state and helped her back to his house. There, he'd helped her recover, and this incident had brought the two indeed closer. Wilson remembers Daphne talking about a particular book that she liked the most, and recalls that the same book was inside the box of her particulars that he'd recaptured after her death.
Presently, Wilson ever manages to pull himself up and return to his house, where he goes through the book that his family had left before. In this, he finds jottings by Daphne, which she had directly written for him, in which she explains the whole thing that has been passing. Daphne, and maybe Wilson as well, were visited by a ghastly demon with burning unheroic eyes in their nonage days. Every night when their parents would fight, this demon would appear inside their closet and would sit in the darkness and hang the kiddies. But this demon returned to hang Daphne when she was in her twenties and had an alcohol problem, and would constantly follow her around. unfit to help herself in any manner, the worried woman sought respite in some dark trades and occult practices through which she believed she too would have the powers of a demon. Reading all of this with tremendous despair to try and save his family, Wilson decides to perform the rituals and fight the satanic Castille on his own. During his medication, a coworker of Daphne’s comes to visit Wilson to pay her felicitations to the departed woman, but the family drives her down and returns to his dazed acts. As the scene is nearly set and the medication has been completed, Castille appears at Wilson’s doorstep, and both men, supposedly held by satanic spirits, are ready to fight each other.
‘ When I Consume You ’ Ending Explained Does Wilson Save Daphne From Evil?
Wilson fights Castille and legs him to the ground in an attempt to save Daphne, who's apparently within the demon’s body. He shoves his hand inside Castille’s mouth and indeed pulls out Daphne’s soul and body from within. As the family comes back to life formerly more, she eventually remembers what had happened to her, and Wilson stabs Castille’s casket multiple times with a dagger. still, the demon tricks Wilson into doing so, just as it had formerly tricked Daphne into attacking it, which eventually harmed the bushwhackers themselves. When Daphne tried to hurt the demon, she killed herself in the process, and when Wilson stabs the demon with his dagger, it turns out that he has picked himself with it. Castille disappears from the scene, and Wilson is nearly about to black out when Daphne encourages him to stay put and walk out of the apartment onto the road. She knows that someone would find Wilson on the road before he failed, and that's exactly what happens, and the man is taken to the sanitarium and saved just in time.
Daphne’s voice also takes over as scenes of Wilson living his usual life after recovering from the incident are shown. Daphne says how her family survived the incident and has renewed his education, but is still visited by the demon every day, who visits him, but Wilson now knows not to reply. Eventually, as Wilson has also been entering drug for his internal affections, Daphne knows that it's time for her to bid her family farewell, and the spirit of the dead family eventually leaves Wilson to live his perfecting life by himself.
Despite all the supernatural homilies that nicely play a part in the film’s illustrations, the plot itself may remain deeply cerebral. The reasons and meanings of both Daphne and Wilson’s fears and hauntings are revealed gradationally when the exact nature of their nonage is revealed. The two were largely neglected and left abandoned throughout their nonage, and the fear and trauma from that veritable age lived on as they grew up. While it isn't made clear by the film as to whether there was actually a snooper who would follow Daphne around, there's no reason to believe that he didn't live moreover. It might be that the woman was indeed followed around and wearied by the police officer, but he wasn't the one to kill her. It was Daphne’s own fears that consumed her and led her to kill herself, and also, it was Wilson’s own psyche that pushed him towards tone- detriment and led to him pecking himself. When any strike is made on the demon, it affects the siblings, which easily suggests that the demon, or the fear of it, is most surely within them. Although both the acts would feel willing and tone-foisted attempts to kill themselves, inside Daphne and Wilson’s minds, they indeed didn't have any other option, which is really a representation of their worried internal state. Wilson had been imagining Daphne each along since her death because he'd learned to survive only with the help of his family and didn't know life without her. Eventually, in the end, as he has started taking specifics to ease his internal condition, Daphne ceases to live as Wilson learns to survive by himself, facing his fear, which returns every day, but the man now knows that he can control it too.
