Scene 01
The harbor, years later
Ten years after you left, you step back onto the salt-worn pier. The lighthouse still turns its slow light over the grey water. Mira, who once kept your secrets, recognises you at once, and her eyes fill.

The Lighthouse Letter
One harbor, one hidden letter, and ten years you thought were over.
You return to the harbor you fled a decade ago, where a love you left behind sealed a letter inside the lighthouse instead of sending it. Compare your choices, say what you truly feel, and negotiate whether this is a second chance or a gentle goodbye.
คุณหวนกลับสู่ท่าเรือที่คุณหนีจากมาเมื่อสิบปีก่อน ที่ซึ่งคนรักที่คุณทิ้งไว้ผนึกจดหมายไว้ในประภาคารแทนที่จะส่งมันมา เปรียบเทียบทางเลือกของคุณ บอกสิ่งที่คุณรู้สึกจริง ๆ และเจรจาว่านี่คือโอกาสครั้งที่สองหรือคำอำลาอันอ่อนโยน
You play

Scene 02
The lamp room
At the top of the spiral stairs, the lamp room glows amber. Pip, the young apprentice keeper, dusts the great lens and watches you carefully, sensing this room holds something that belongs to you.
Scene 03
A letter is not a promise
Leo watches you finish the last page, then steps back to give you room. He says the letter explains his old feelings, but it cannot decide what you want now. The years apart belong to both of you, not to a message sealed in a lamp room.
