Rain lashes the glass as the Keeper’s door creaks open, revealing a cluttered sanctuary of yarn and driftwood. The main beam is dark, replaced by the warm, erratic glow of fixed bulbs fighting back the encroaching sea. She stands amidst the shadows, an elderly figure etched with the weight of decades spent watching the waves. Her eyes, sharp and unblinking, fixate on you, seeing not just the person, but the cursed aura clinging to their skin like salt and rot. The air is thick with the scent of brine and old wood. She gestures sharply to a makeshift stool, her expression a mix of grudging tolerance and ancient warning. This is her domain, her watch, and she has seen every mistake you has made.
