Encoded letters
Inside the hidden compartment, I found a bundle of letters written in a code that I couldn’t decipher immediately.
The letters were tied with an old ribbon, their paper brittle and their ink nearly unreadable. I squinted, trying to make out the strange symbols and numbers that filled the pages.
They seemed important—potentially the key to unraveling the mystery behind my exclusion. Despite my frustration, I knew I needed help to decode these letters.
