Part 5/7:
Yet as the protagonist attempts to settle in for the night, strange occurrences unsettle her—noises that seem to echo the ghostly tales shared over dinner. The whimsical atmosphere soon takes a darker turn as she learns there’s more to this ship than just old engines. The revelation of eels lurking in the hold becomes a metaphor for deeper anxieties—fears of entrapment and the unknown that could bubble to the surface at any moment.
