Mara awoke, but this time, she wasn't in her apartment. She stood in the infinite hallway, doors stretching into the distance, each one slightly ajar, shadows spilling from the cracks. She understood now—she was trapped in this place, just as Rosa and Eva were before her. The curse was a cycle, an unbreakable chain of souls bound to this liminal realm.
She wandered the halls, calling out, but only echoes answered her. As she passed by one of the doors, she saw her own reflection in a dusty mirror—a face lost and fading, blending into the shadows.
In the distance, she heard the faint, rhythmic sound of an alarm, calling out into the darkness. Her heart sank as she realized it was meant for the next victim, a beacon to draw them in.
