π Episode 14 – The Light Remains
π Months have passed since the storm.
The sea has quieted, though the waves still hum with a low, eternal sound — like a heartbeat echoing through time. I returned to the lighthouse one last time, carrying flowers and Elliot’s old lantern.
The air smelled of salt and memory. Dust had settled on his desk, but the logbook was still there, open to the last page he wrote:

I smiled through tears. That was Elliot — steadfast, loyal, bound to duty and love even beyond the living.
I stepped outside to the balcony. The wind was gentle, the horizon painted in orange and gold. For the first time, I didn’t feel haunted. I felt watched over.
Somewhere beneath those calm waves rests a man who kept his promise, and a woman who never stopped waiting.
