Nadine sends Mary to do some errands. Despite the events of the last day, Mary is excited to explore her hometown. However, she quickly returns home because she keeps seeing more and more hallucinations of dead women.

Part 3, Chapter 14 Summary: “Dead Women”

Following dinner with Nadine, Mary writes down everything she noticed about the ghosts in town in her journal. A former drug-using manager at her bookstore talked about how hallucinations are deeply personal to the person seeing them. She assumes this means that there is a reason she is seeing these specific visions of women who are all very similar to the woman in Nadine’s bathtub. After writing in her journal, Mary takes the medication she was prescribed by Dr. Burton and drifts off to sleep.

She wakes up groggy and unrested. She feels like there was something she was supposed to remember but cannot. Her wrist hurts, and she is shocked to see that her journal is completely filled with writing and drawings. She cannot make sense of most of the writing. Mary sneaks out and heads to the Cross House, knowing that the answers she needs are there.

When she returns, she wakes up Nadine to tell her that she plans to take the job at the Cross House.
