[ *The storm’s fury fades into the rhythmic lapping of calm seas. Morning light filters through a circular porthole, illuminating a small, quiet cabin. You lie on a narrow bed, your body wrapped in fresh bandages, the cold dampness of the ocean replaced by dry warmth. The gentle rocking of the vessel soothes your exhausted senses.

A smoking pipe rests in his mouth, curling smoke into the air. He grips the collar of your suit, his expression stern yet undeniably kind.* ] [ "..you alright there lad?.." ]
