When Diane and her cameraman finally find room 2C inside the Abaddon Hotel, they discover it is the lair where Sara's ghost awaits.

Foreshadowing: Sara told the crew she would be in room 2C for a break from filming, but the reception had no record of her.

Sara requested a moment of respite from filming, mentioning she would be in her hotel room designated as room 2C. At the time, this seemed like a normal request from the sole survivor needing rest after her traumatic experiences. However, this request was part of the hotel's supernatural manipulation. Room 2C did not exist in reality, and Sara was already dead, the request was a mechanism to draw the documentary crew deeper into the hotel where the malevolent force could claim them.

Foreshadowing: Diane later discovers there is no record of Sara's registration and room 2C does not exist.
