EPILOGUE ⚜ HOUSE RULES (COMPLETE VERSION)

[Illustration 14] · Final Image | A yellowed and badly damaged sheet of hotel stationery lies upon an old walnut desk, its letterhead bearing a red crescent moon and the hotel’s name. A dried water stain cuts across the third rule, leaving the words “ANSWER” and “DO NOT” faintly visible at opposite ends of the page. Several unexplained black finger marks remain near the lower-left corner, while a tiny line of dark red handwriting has appeared at the lower right. In the shadows beyond, an antique telephone sits slightly out of focus—it is impossible to tell whether the receiver has been properly returned to its cradle. 112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsDzCUbwGF
