With the other what?

It is like "Put this pen next to the purple". I have to ask "The purple what?"

Thanks a lot, CJ. I mean there is another one besides "he" in the forest. How should I write that situation? Please explain it to me. Thanks again.

Another person then? If so, something is wrong. He can't be alone if he is with another person.

Except for this apparent logical flaw, the sentences are correct.

He was frightened by the thought that they were the only two in the dense forest. If I rewrite the sentences in my OP, is it correct?
