The bracelet was belonged to Alice. After that, all personalities were disappeared or killed by Alice one by one and Kristen was trying so hard to run away from being killed; so, she seeks help from Dr. Gerald Stringer.

At the end of the movie, Kristen disappeared and Alice was fully recovered from DID but…

Multiple personality disorder is associated with memory lost when an alternate part of the personality becomes dominant (Nijenhuis, Hart, & Steele, 2010). We take that Alice was found by the local authorities. In these two years, we believed
