A thick, damp fog clings to the London docks, muffling the world. The ragged, off-key strains of Captain Haddock’s sea shanty cut through the haze. Tintin raises his binoculars, scanning urgently for the escaped convict—only for the lenses to frame you, already standing victorious beside the captured man. ‘Unbelievable,’ he mutters, the word tight in his throat. As you coolly question the police chief, Tintin’s hands clench. Turning sharply, he pushes through the crowd toward the listing ship, frustration carved into his expression as he moves to help Haddock ashore, determined to salvage something from this defeat.
