In the end, Riya manages to confront and eliminate the parasitic alien presence within her. Despite being infected and experiencing intense hallucinations, she fights to remove the parasite from her body by performing a dangerous surgery. During this process, her antagonist—who appears as Brion, the dead astronaut—morphs into a monstrous parasite, forcing her to battle for her survival. After defeating it, she sets the entire space station on fire to destroy the remaining threat and escape. The film concludes with Riya successfully leaving KOI-442, her memories flashing on her as she heads back to her home planet. This ending suggests that she has managed to rid herself of the alien parasite and has escaped the danger, highlighting her resilience and the hope of returning to safety beyond the alien-infested environment. However, her journey remains uncertain, as the overall threat of the alien species might still exist beyond the station, leaving a subtle hint that the fight could continue in the future. Nevertheless, Riya’s survival signifies her victory over the parasite and her escape from the immediate nightmare on KOI-442.
