Food, friendship, and fears all blend together. Themes of resilience and comfort surface amidst the dramatic backdrop; the warmth of Vigs’s culinary exploits juxtaposed with the haunting tales and chilling occurrences surrounding them. Her health—brought into question by unusual side effects—serves as a poignant reminder of the cost of both her curiosity and the secrets of the ship.

As the lines between reality and nightmare blur, an intense interplay with not only Vigs but also the very essence of the ship emerges, culminating in a deranged revelation about the eels and the lengths people will go to keep their treasures safe.
