The story

A case for two: each of you holds half the story.

Cabo de Palos, October 2026. Grandma Carmen died in the spring, aged ninety, and has left you the white house on Calle del Faro with a note stuck to the door:

“My dears: in this house there is a box I hid in 1967. To find it you have to read our story in two voices: the letters your grandfather wrote to me and the diary where I answered him without ever sending it. And you have to find out who wrote that unsigned letter that almost tore us apart. I found out. Now it's your turn.”

One of you has Antonio's letters. The other, Carmen's diary.
