"This was my first stay at the Hines Mansion, and it will be my last. I could hear the faint crash of waves and the toll of a ship’s bell—it was so vivid, I almost believed the ocean was outside. Around dawn, I felt a presence behind me, as if someone was leaning over the bed. It wasn’t threatening, but it was unnerving. When I got up, I found a single seashell on the windowsill. I’m not sure how it got there—but I didn’t put it there."

"I stayed in this room on a business trip and woke up to the sound of creaking wood, like a ship swaying on the ocean. The sound stopped as soon as I turned on the light, but it was so vivid I couldn’t shake the feeling I wasn’t alone."

"The waves seem to echo the storm in my mind. Nathan once confided in me about a mysterious letter he received—its warnings were dire, but he dismissed it. Now, I wonder if the sender was closer than we thought, someone who wanted us out of the picture. Why didn’t we see it coming?"
