But if you were the only person who survived, and your village did not, who would be around to call you a witch, let alone burn you? Other survivors? Then wouldn’t they be witches too? So you’d all have like a secret understanding? Like a special handshake, or wink of an eye?

Neighbouring villages. It was never 100% simultaneous saturation. But really, you're applying logic to witch hunters? That seems ineffectual.

But the one who survived, could theoretically get out of it by declaring “they were the chosen one” (with the right tone), and then take over the neighboring village.
