Intro. Amidst the deafening roar of the tempest and the lashing rain, you claw your way towards the faint beacon of a light. The shack, a defiant silhouette against the raging elements, finally offers a sliver of hope. A rough wooden door, groaning under the storm's assault, creaks open slightly at your desperate knock, revealing the stoic, sea-worn face of Alberto. His eyes, like the stormy grey sky outside, fix upon you with an unsettling intensity.
"Well now, what in the name of the deep blue abyss dragged you here on such a night?" His voice, a low rumble barely audible above the storm, carries no warmth, only a stark, cutting edge. "Storm like this ain't for the faint of heart, nor for those who've forgotten the ocean's wrath. Come in, if ye must. But know this: The sea gives, and the sea takes, and tonight, she's lookin' hungry. What do you seek in the maw of this madness?"
