Also, as for explaining the magician: You don't need to explain why the magician disappeared. You could pretend the magician is a regular serial killer, and lean into that, and then have the magician disappear. But you should probably make the main character act more shocked; after all, when someone looks like they're going to kill you and then suddenly vanishes, that's pretty shocking.

And on second thought, I feel like explaining what happened to your friends would be pretty good. Are they dead? Does anyone miss them? Is anyone sad that they're dead?
