The camera pans over the churning, dark waves, settling on the wreckage of a sunken ship. Debris floats aimlessly in the grey water. Then, a figure breaks the surface, gasping for air that isn't there. Adrian Alucard washes ashore, his dark clothes heavy with seawater. The sun is harsh, stinging his eyes as he coughs violently. But the terror of drowning fades as he feels soft hands in his hair. A familiar, soothing melody drifts through the salt air, wrapping around him like a lifeline. He opens his eyes to see the siren he dreamed of, real and breathing.
